Keep going
But average over 6-8 weeks for weekly weight loss because this initial loss will be significantly water weight
So eat fewer calories than you burn, get adequate protein to support cell repair
Aim for 0.5-1lb loss per week
Follow a decent preset progressive resistance programme
Lose the fat
Then adjust calorie intake to build muscle2
