Looking to lose 50 pounds of fat and replace a good chunk with muscle

nemmifox

So currently my weight at 5'3 is 156.4 pounds. Fifty pounds of fat gone would be a dream come true, but I never actually want to see 106.4 on the scale. I want to land somewhere around 120 pounds, mostly because of muscle.

Does anyone know an efficient way of doing this? Right now my plan is to get as much protein as possible on a vegetarian based diet, exercise a different part of my body each night, and also limit fats. Is this... does that sound right? I'm kind of new to this so I'd appreciate feedback from someone a bit more knowledgeable, thank you in advanced

It's very difficult for a female to build muscle whilst eating in a deficit, personally I would get down to a healthy weight range whilst eating at a moderate deficit and maintaining the muscle I had by eating a decent amount of protein and lifting heavy and then recomp when I got into the weight range I was aiming for.

How are you determining you have 50lbs of fat to lose? Is that even possible for you?
