Ok /fit/ I have a few questions, If im trying to lose weight, what would I do for weight lifting? Like 5x5 Strong lifts or something else. I have no idea on how the whole lifting weight things go so just help me out. I'm also already doing HIIT for cardio. (Not on the same day)

If you want to lose weight, essentially make sure that your caloric intake is negative, meaning look up your caloric intake for age, gender, profession etc and make sure you dont reach that limit EVERYDAY. Then you want to train for hypertrophy, so sets of 8-12 reps atleast 3 sets per exercise or per muscle group. As bigger muscles require more energy to function, consume protein immediately after your workout.

Protein is building material for muscles, not fuel (though it can and will be taken from the muscles if you don't get enough).

Protein is going to help the muscle increase in size and thats going to increase his/her metabolic rate, making him/her lose weight faster.
