Hi friends,

I am eating clean (as much as I can) and doing regular cardio (walking and tennis). I lost around 13 lbs and now I am stuck at 185 lbs. I am not able to loose more weight.
I have few questions?
Should I loose more weight and then start strength training or should I maintain this weight and start strength training?
I am 26 yrs, male with height 5 feet 11 inches.

How can I loose more fat? I understand that it is not possible to target fat loss to any body part, but my final target is to remove as much fat as possible from my belly.

Thanks for help.

    Start strength training now.

    I'm not super fluent in healthy male weights so hopefully somebody else will chime in. But, I don't think you are too overweight, just over-fat at this point. I would suggest eating either at maintenance and really start lifting heavy or eat at a slight deficit and really start lifting heavy.

    Start weighing and logging your food to a defecit ...eating clean is inadequate for weight loss

    Always a good idea to wash food before eating it.

    Depending on duration & intensity, that might not be enough.

    You're not far above a healthy weight for your height. (Less than 10 lb.)
    So any more weight you lose will happen slowly.

    .
    Should I loose (sic) more weight and then start strength training or should I maintain this weight and start strength training?
    It's easier to maintain the muscle you have than to rebuild it.
    Start weightlifting today, even if it's only body weight exercises (use your favorite search engine).

    How can I loose (sic) more fat?
    Eat at a slight calorie deficit. Keep up the mild exercise.
    It would be better to increase intensity or duration a bit.

    FYI:
    loose = not tight
    lose = to no longer have
    Your clothes will be loose once you lose weight.
