Going on my weight loss journey what should I do to shed 40 lbs in 3 months while also trying to develop a "shelf" booty?

kick backs and hip abductors with lots of protein

Weight training, eating habits, and consistency are key! Starting out small will save you mentally and physically in the long run as well.

Calorie deficit while maintaining a higher protein diet. The calorie deficit doesn’t have to be extreme if you’re working out regularly and weight lifting

Weight lifting! Heavy squats and deadlifts!

Look for foods/snacks with higher protein + fiber. Fiber is great for your gut health and protein is going to help you build/maintain your muscle while you lose fat. Protein will also keep you full for longer so you’re less likely to snack. Try drinking a glass/bottle of water before any meal (it’ll prevent you from overeating). Try split squats/bulgarian squats. Try to avoid lifting every day. Your body will build muscle when it’s allowed time to rest as well.

Thanks but I was kind of hoping for some more depth like the kind of workouts, what you're eating, etc. I should've been more clear

I didnt go on a strict diet but I did cut down on things like fast food and excess sugars/calories. I avoided sodas and fast foods and substituted cravings for snacks/sweets with healthier options. I really liked frozen fruits like strawberries and yogurt w/ granola! After some time I found that I didnt really crave greasy foods or super sweet things, but its all in moderation

As for working out, I normally do weighted workouts, its important to remember you cant target fat loss to a certain area. For legs and glutes I do squats, leg extensions & curls, hip thrusts, and cable kick backs. Chest/back I do chest flys, cable row backs and weighted hyperextensions. Arms/shoulders I do shoulder press, curls, push downs (triceps) and sometimes bench press

On days you don’t lift, try to incorporate some cardio. I like to run every other day but walking is great too. Elliptical workouts are also great and they incorporate legs. Have fun with it, get in a routine, but also try new things! Dont be too hard on yourself. You may not see results in the first month & that’s typically bc youre gaining muscle + carrying water weight. Keep going and believe in yourself!
