I'm repeating it because it it important, your iether not getting what I'm saying or I'm wording it improperly so let me try this again.
1. Stop worrying about looking like a bodybuilder. People are always worried about looking like one that they think certain workout makes them look like one.
Example my coworker ask me about my workout routine and I showed him layne norton phat. And first thing he said is "I don't want to look like that though".
I use the program and once I reach my goal I'll still use it but eat maintenance. That will stop building muscle and keep the weight I want to be at.
Does that make sence? I'm saying workout like a bodybuilder if your up for it or do 3days 1 hour a day if you want. I was just saying that working out like a bodybuilder with your nutrition on check will get you to your goal faster.
And for weight loose, nutrition is key, if your not eating deficit you can workout as hard as you want you won't loose weight.

I have done that before, Im not a body builder and dont want to be one, but buidling muscle takes alot of hard work and pain, and I didnt notice any improvement in my clothes or anything else.
I think u need to do all three together to lose fat and gain muscle.
Most of us have time to do two of the three, eat right and exercise. gotta watch the calores and the scale.
I hope you understand that looking like a body builder takes YEARS and dedication. You can work out like a pro, eat like a pro and do everything like a pro but unless you keep doing the same thing for years you won't look like them.
If your that serious about pushing your body to it's best or to that ideal body that you want I'd recomend doing what bodybuilders do. Then when you hit that goal maintain it. I'm no fan of steroids and such though so if it has a side effects I'd avoid it. If that you then well that's you.
And actually you can't build muscle and loose weight. That's a misconception.
In order for you to build muscle you need excess calories(keeping in mind ur macros)
In order for you to loose weight you need to be in deficit. So it's not possible to do both.
If your not a fan of bulk/cut method like me you could do clean bulk. Which requires eating SMALL amount over maintenance like. Slow progress but you'll be lean mean machine throughout the year lol
And it all requires dedication. Are you being consistent with your workout and eating/calorie?
Just in case you missed my post. Eating all the healthy food can still make you fat/stall progress if your eating over maintenance.
If your motivated to do this I cab give you a breakdown on what you need nutrition wise.
Just put in your height, weight and age. What's your goal?
My goal is to weigh what I weighed in high school. Im not real fat, but my theory is if I havent grown since high school i should be able to weight what I did in high school, or at least be in the ball park.
But i dont think you are reading my posts, you keep repeating the same thing, Im not interested in bodybuilding. And really, unless you weight train with alot of passion and authority, it doesnt do much for you. You have to kill it for it to do anything, like exhausting the muscle.
I actually have a naturally muscluar look in the arms and shoulders, people think i work out when they see me in a tank, but I dont do a damn thing.
But like most men and especially men getting older, the weight piles up in the gut
If I lost 25 pounds 24 would probably come from my gut, the rest of me is relatively thin, except for slight pudging in lower chin.
But chicks dig me.
