Title says it all, i want to lose weight and also build some muscle, ive have been hitting the gym and cutting my calories by 500-900cal for the past two months, while i am seeing some muscle growth, its not very substantial or something people around me will notice, ive also lost about 2kgs which is not much so i am thinking of doing a 200cal surplus for a month to see how it goes I wanted to get some advice as well as read other people’s experiences

Yeah i am, actually i (was) on a vacation and started hitting the gym just because i was bored and also wanted to get in better shape, so thats why i went 5-6 times a week, i dont do olympic lifts, i only use 4-5 machines (Chest, Shoulder, leg press, pulldown etc)for each major muscle grp I perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps and when i feel like they are getting too easy, i increase the weight…
