    Mostly listen to your body. Do you experience any pain (above and beyond typical muscle soreness)? Are you having trouble doing other things in your life because of your workouts? If not, have at it. In order to lose fat a person doesn't HAVE to exercise. Exercise is a convenient way for a lot of people to assist in creating a calorie deficit and to improve overall health.

    In general, exercise for health, eat less to lose weight.

    You would need to be in a calorie defecit.
    Plug your numbers into the goal section of MFP.
