Coming from a girl with a similar height, body recomp is all about replacing your fat with muscle. To start you definitely NEED to be in a slight calorie deficit so look up BMR calculator and then subtract 2 to 500 cal off of that and have that be your calorie goal for each day, make sure you’re getting a decent amount of protein after the gym it’ll help grow your muscles and carbs before lifting for energy. I totally recommend creatine just drink LOTSSSS of water like more than you think

otherwise you can get bloated. Then you need to be lifting heavy and consistently 4 to 5 times a week in the gym while progressively overloading which means getting stronger each week. My biggest tip is to not focus scale. as your fat gets replaced by denser muscle the number on the scale might not change but your body will. I recommend taking pictures of yourself to track your progress rather than using the scale

how you feel and how you think you look matter infinitely more than what the number on the scale says
