The bad info just won't stop.
1. Weight loss is achieved through a calorie deficit. That's it. It's that simple. Lifting, cardio, jumping up and down doesn't have anything to do with weight loss. So, do what ever you want. Just eat at a calorie deficit.
2. Exercise is for body recomposition, not for weight loss. Weight loss, maintenance, and gain is all calories. Exercise determines health, and how you look when you hit your goal.
3. It's always said that weight loss without exercise = looking good in clothes
Weight loss and heavy lifting = looking good naked.
You choose.
I would not stop lifting. That's silly. And people saying yes to that are not well educated on the benefits of lifting.

You should never stop lifting if you are capable of doing it. It brings so many benefits, reducing the risk of cancer being one of those.0
