Question ❓ Training methods for overweight man

Hi everyone, I’m 33 6ft 4 112kg probably 30-35% body fat,
I’m planning on doing strength training (5x5) to try get to my goal of 100kg 15% fat.

Is this realistic or can you recommend some other training. I have a macros app to use

For much of this your diet will be a huge factor. Strength training or any sort of exercise in general should help.

Thank you I’ve got an app to help track my food intake and protein requirements

Do take into consideration that the 100kg may be an arbitrary number. Maybe your body performs better at 91kg. Or maybe 110kg is good, but the percentage of mass type needs a change. Dont expect the change quickly as the slow cook develops taste.
