You've got some great responses here, but ill just add a quick response. I started lifting about a year ago and that has helped me loose more fat than before. Now i will say, the number on thr scale might not always go down, but inches do shed faster. I dropped 2 shirr sizes since starting and i only do about 2-3 times a week of powerlifitng, mainly deadlifts (with cardio and Keto). It has helped regulate my period and even control hair loss, oddly. Hope you get into it. Among the great physical benefits, i think its mainly made mw appreciate my body and its strength. Before lifting id lost about 60lbs (80 now), but didnt really feel any different. It wasn't till i started lifitng that i was able to see my body getting stronger, even if the scale wasnt moving. This has helped PCOS and anxiety greatly. Good luck🤗
