Hi! I (33 F, 5'3'', SW: 267,9 lbs, CW: 261.9 lbs) started my last weight loss journey on January 20. I'm using Cronometer to track my calories, I make at least 7k-8k steps per day, sometimes more, and I do at least 30 minutes of cardio daily 5 days a week. Cronometer calculated my deficit of 379 kcal to 2186 kcal per day with my BMR being 1862 kcal and my TDEE being 2560 kcal.
At the start of December last year, I had a laparoscopic myomectomy and I was avoiding strenuous activity, but now, 8 weeks post-op, I'm ready to start lifting weights again. I'm already doing exercises for deep abdominals to help heal from the surgery.
My question here is: I want to lose weight as in lose fat, but I also want to build muscles simultaneously - doing body recomposition essentially. I'm so afraid of having loose skin and I want to minimise it as much as I can, and I also love strength training. With my deficit, will I still notice losing weight on the scale or should I focus more on non-scale measurements? Should I try to do body recomposition? I I want to get down to at least 198 lbs by August when I go on my vacation. Are my ideas realistic?
