I'm not much of an expert but I believe that your time spent lifting, bodyweight or otherwise, would be maximized if you are at a caloric surplus.
Given that, your best route should be to cut weight with high cardio exercises like running biking and swimming because you'll have to be at a caloric deficit anyway to lose your extra fat.
Then, if you're intrested, try lifting when you can have a smart diet at a caloric surplus.

Not to say lifting won't burn calories but your results will be be disappointing and it's less time efficient as a weight loss method. however, you might find it the must fun/bearable.

Don't go on any crazy diet yet. Just calculate your TDEE and eat 500 calories beneath it.

After you get used to this, then you can start eating healthier foods.

Doing everything at once will probably make you fail, just saying.

bodyweight squats, pushups, biking

No, no no no, none of this, this is horseshit. You're fat as fuck, you'll be able to recomp. I promise, it's exactly what I did. Do the 500 calorie deficit (sticky will teach you about that) and start lifting. You have enough excess energy storage on your body that, as long as you're getting a decent amount of protein, you'll build muscle just fine. You're going to be waaaay better off with a frame of muscularity slowly emerging out of your wretched fat husk than you will be cutting down to rail thin and trying to build on top of it.

hey op here, i dicked off for a while but thanks for the replies. i feel pretty good about what >>34860754 posted because if we rewind further back a i had a pretty good muscle build as i used to work in a lumber mill and did carpentry, and being expected to keep up with guys a full foot taller than me got me into a really good build. i actually have huge cavernous stretch marks in my armpits from the growth in my shoulders/arms.

one other question if anyone wants to answer is what is the verdict on fasts. i was thinking of doing a short term fast just to purge my system and try to get a fresh start going, but i dont know if it would be a waste of time or detrimental.

not really a fit person yet however i have lost 30lb by intermittent fasting

>>34861860
how long would you fast for at a time

>>34861885
only ate from noon to 8pm for a couple weeks but im going to start day-long fasts though because ive heard some pretty good things

>>34861905
oh, with where i am at now, i was seriously considering just having my morning coffee and then just water after that for a couple days to a week if i could make it.

as i type that out it sounds horribly unhealthy tho

>>34859844
100 pushups
100 sit ups
100 squats
10k
All your fat will fall out.

>>34861808
Fasting can very easily lead to bingw eating. A caloric deficit with lots of filling fruits and vegetables is optimal for weight loss.
