    Eat at a moderate deficit, get the appropriate amount of protein (around .8 grams per lb of body weight), stregth/resistance train. Are you familiar with beginners lifting or body weight programs?

    Make sure you're doing a structured program with a progressive overload. Set MFP to lose .5 lbs per week for every 25 pounds you need to lose. Eat the calorie goal it gives you while continuing to lift heavy.
