Lifting weights in a calorie deficit?

what are the main lifts I should focus on?

Squat, deadlift, overhead press, bent over row, bench press

Basic compound barbell lifts (if you still have gym or at home gym capabilities)

For losing weight and building muscle I can make progressive gains with a high intensity and low volume approach. Continue to get stronger with just two sets.

Just check it yourself.

Focus on main compound lifts, take some beginners 5x5 strenght program and stop overthinking so much

Wish you well

Don’t intermittent fast like someone else suggested, the research is iffy about it. Eat at a caloric deficit and make sure you macros have low fat high protein and fill the rest with carbs. A good example :

40% protein 45% carbs 15% fat

After that just train hard and stick with the diet. And please, don’t go at an insane deficit, anything over 500 calories as the deficit you’ll likely lose more muscle than you’d like.

Dude you took the time to type this out but didn’t google cutting workout plans? Find what your daily macros should be, eat at deficit and lift. Try intermittent fasting.
