    sardelsa beat me to it! ^ Lot's of good info there.

    A couple of observations from your opening post. I have no idea what you mean by "medium" weights. Either you are lifting enough (for you, everyone is different), in terms of weight on the bar and/ or number of reps, to sufficiently cause muscular adaptations or your not. There is no small, medium or large. It more of are/ aren't. You can do lighter weight and more reps(up to a point), more weight and fewer reps or more sets. But it still involves working close to max capacity by the time you are done.

    As a woman, you won't likely see much muscle gain in a calorie deficit. But is will help you make the most of the muscle you have and when you burn off that fat (through overall calorie deficit) you will have a well shaped body from the weight training.
