    Getting to "low body fat" still entails losing fat but strength training while losing weight will help retain muscle during that process which most find results in being happier with their physique at their goal weight.

    If you want lower body fat you are going to need to eat at a deficit, as you probably 20 or KG to lose. You should lift weights while doing so, as it will help you maintain the muscle that you do have.

    more muscle by definition will lower your body even if you never lose a pound of fat . its a ratio lean body mass to fat

    The short answer is yes; the long answer is that it should, as long as you’re also eating at a calorie deficit and getting an adequate amount of protein.

    You lose weight from being in a calorie deficit. Having more muscle burns a tiny bit more calories but the main way to lose weight is to get your diet in order. You can't out exercise your diet.
