What should I do to get lean?

[qsej]

I weigh 160 rn and high in BF% around 25-30% what do I need to do to get to around 135-145 ish? Without using Reta, I have access to a LA fitness near me but I’ve always kind of stayed skinny fat even when I was lower in weight around 146ish then I eventually let go and gained about 10-15 lbs which is where I’m at now,I feel as if Body recomp takes forever sadly. Will dropping 10-15 lbs first then building muscle mass afterwards be beneficial?

Stop starving yourself and start fueling your body with protein and heavy lifting.

Yeah I’m trying to stay in between 900-1800 cals per day I just catch myself slacking on the protein aspect of it when it comes to trying to get protein in daily I find myself struggling with hence I live with my family still since I’m 16 so I usually eat what’s being cooked or eating out which I try to get the healthiest options. Appreciate the help with that tho
