I'm struggling to lose body fat. In the last two years, I've put on 40 lbs of body fat despite strength training. I believe I'm in perimenopause. I'm desperate to lose body fat without gaining any more weight. I weigh 190 lbs, am 5 ft 4 in, have an athletic build, and eat 140-150 grams of protein and about 1900-2200 calories per day. I used to gain muscle easily, but that seems to have slowed down. My sleep is good, and my gut seems fine. Where should I be focusing first? Should I take a step approach (i.e., get hormones right then work on fat loss), or should I work on both simultaneously?
