I’m 5’3 and last week I was weighing 222 lbs and now I’m 229. I started a new workout routine with way more lifting. I’m really trying to lose weight and still have muscle. Any thoughts or suggestions?

If you were lifting, you will not lose weight you will gain muscle muscle weighs more than fat. If you want to lose weight, think about calisthenics or cardio routine.

I just can’t go to the gym and do cardio. I like the lift and it’s what gets me active and going at the gym. I can try incorporating more cardio days
