tips to boost your metabolism

This is my idea, but I was told that one should lose the weight they want first, then... incorporate exercise to build muscle and firm up, if not one will be bulky and look fat. I am not sure about this, wouldnt exercise help lose weight and build muscle while firming?
Generally speaking you want to lift weights WHILE losing bodyweight/dieting. The bulky thing is bogus.
Lifting while dieting will help you to keep the muscle mass you already have. Dieting without any resistance training will encourage the loss of muscle.
Thank you for this, I was wondering about dieting without exercise first, makes complete sense!0
