What should I do

Question

I am a 5’4 and 160 pounds I have stomach and leg fat. Should I loose the weight or gain muscle and how should I go about it?

Answer

You should see your doctor to discuss this

Answer

You can do both. My recommendation:
 Workout 4 times per week with 2 cardio workouts (jogging, dancing, swimming, etc) and 2 strength workouts (lifting, rock climbing, crossfit, etc). Then with your diet, focus on eating enough nutrients rather than cutting enough calories. Try cutting back on foods that lack any nutrition (junk food and sweets) and replace them with healthier alternatives (fruits and veggies). Typically, this is enough to see a big change, but the scale may or may not show it because you're gaining muscle, so I'd recommend taking pictures and measurements to track progress.

Answer

Working out to gain muscle will in turn burn the fat

Answer

I would not aim for loosing fat because weight # can vary based on how much of that weight is muscle or not. What I did was go into a slight calorie deficit daily but also in taking enough water as well as working out at least 30 minutes each day even just walking. That has what has helped me the most, then once you hit where you feel good that's when I would move into a calorie maintenance to keep it up.
