A high protein and lower calorie diet combined with consistent weight training will lead to body recomposition, which essentially turns fat into muscle. Personally, I like to do a 4-day split, Push day, Pull day, Glute/hamstring focused leg day, Quad/calf focused leg day. Sprinkle some cardio before/after lifting if you so choose. Each day, I do 1 isolated movement with 3 compound movements. 4-6 reps with 3-4 sets. I like to go as heavy as i comfortably can while still having to work for it+

If that makes sense. Just enough to where it’s hard, but not enough to hurt yourself. As soon as it gets easy, increase your weight. Also just to clarify: High protein in your case would be 0.7-1gram of protein per lb. Check a calorie calculator online, but most women’s deficit lies between 1600 and 2200 cals/day. Also, just in case— an isolated movement targets a single muscle in the group(squats, bicep curls).compound movements target multiple muscles within the group (bench,glute bridges)
