    You WILL lose it if you are consistent with lifting and keep on eating at a decent deficit.

    I don't think the concept is that different between men and women. Lift heavy and eat a lot of protein is probably the best bet judging from what you posted. I personally like running and that has helped - a lot of body builders do plenty of cardio when they are trying to lose fat.

    doesn't body fat has more to do with diet

    As all heavy lifters would tell you abs are made in the kitchen but maintained in the gym! And stomach fat is the hardest to loose! What I'm saying is I have no problem building muscle its getting rid of exces fat!

    I've heard this before. Why AFTER the lifting sessions? Just curious.

    If you want to lose fat, the only way to do it without losing muscle is lifting.
    This is not true. It is certainly not supported by scientific studies. When you lose weight, you always lose some LBM along with the fat. As long as your deficit is small enough that your fat stores can meet it by releasing a max of 31.4 calories per pound of fat per day, you will lose primarily fat. Obese people in studies doing no exercise lose over 80% fat. Exercise increased the rate of loss (by increasing the deficit) but did not increase LBM retention.

    I've found that I was stalled lifting 3x/week with little cardio. I switched it up to going hard with the lifting 2x/week, then a "light" lifting day in between + cardio for 30mins-1 hour (whatever I felt like) and the lbs have started coming off again.

    Now my schedule looks like this:
    Monday/Friday: squats 5x5 , bench 5x5, deadlifts 3x5
    Tues/Thurs: off
    Weds: OHP 5x5, 30+ cardio, accessory machines like lat pulldown/leg press, etc.
    Sat/Sun: either off or light cardio/stretching

    I've not heard of this before, but probably some perceived synergy with "afterburn". Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    I'm not going to take the time to look it up, but I have seen studies that compared two groups at the same caloric deficit. One did weight training, the other did not. The group doing weight training maintained more lean mass.

    I disagree just a little here. A flat stomach is made in the kitchen. Abs are made in the gym. You can do all the lifting you want, that will not (by itself) remove the excess fat. I would be more concerned with cardio and diet if I were you. Don't get me wrong. I do believe you need to maintain or even build the muscle mass but for cutting fat, I don't think the recipe changes, cardio + diet = fat loss.
