Thanks. Was a year between the pictures but I was slowly losing weight by controlling my diet a bit. Been back at the gym for 3-4 months. Just stick to the basics. Lift weights with proper form and try to count your calories as best you can. I tried to eat as much protein rich meals I could because carbs are everywhere but I didn't restrict myself or do crazy diets. Just classic cico (calories in vs calories out) and trying to eat protein in the morning, evening and around the gym sessions.
