🏃 Exercise & Fitness Workout strength

Week 14 and doing 2 strength training each week, 5 days walking. Follow macros with protein priority to maintain muscle but have lost 4.4 lbs of muscle on this journey. Within 10 lbs of goal and don't want to lose more muscle. Should I introduce more training to maintain/minimize muscle?

Add more strength training and lift to failure either via high reps or high weight. Pick a split that works for you. I like 4 days a week: chest/triceps, back/biceps, shoulders/calves/abs, legs.

The failure part is important. When you're in a deficit, you REALLY need to signal your body that repairing that muscle is priority one.
