I guess I spoke a little too much from personal experience. Almost all of the personal trainers that I've come across have been certified with the generic "box gym certification", which in my opinion is not enough.

Almost always, personal trainers are garbage. Have a good look at his credentials and his experience before signing up. I'd recommend someone with at least a degree in kin and/or nutritional sciences. Otherwise, most of the time they will put you in a terrible position for weightloss.

There shouldn't be any problem with him doing stronglifts 5x5. Weight training does not prevent one's ability to grow.

I think you just dropped your calories too fast and now ur metabolic rate has gone to crap. Go on a very slow bulk for a a couple of months and cut back down to 1200. I'd cut down about 150cal a week when ur back on ur cut. Go with very slow calorie increases each week. When I say slow, I mean SLOW. Add about 50 calories…
