Should I focus on cutting fat or bulking muscle based on my current fat muscle percentage?

[RyanEC]

I am currently 42% fat and 22% fat.
I would like to cut fat without losing muscle.

You can do both at the same time just by reducing your calories only slightly, and by doing time restricted eating within a 9 hour window. Worked perfectly for me when I was skinny-fat after a year off of training.

I'm surprised you can even breathe with that much fat...😳

I think you should see a personal trainer.
