WTF? lol… are being serious or jking?

I havent done a 20 minute session of cardio in 3 years but magically get bigger when using more weight and loose bodyfat when using less weight higher reps with half the rest from going heavy.

If I cut down my intake to 2,500 calories a day and do 4 sets of an exercise at 15-25 reps I could get into the single digit bf%

Regaurdless op wants to LOOSE weight not gain it and lifting heavy promotes muscle growth which increases weight gain.
