you don’t technically need to do any type of workouts to lose weight, you just need to be in a caloric deficit (eating less calories than you burn in a day). you can find daily calorie needs calculators online and adjust your daily intake to fit your goals. a mix of weightlifting and your choice of cardio is best to become more fit and to make the weight loss come easier. focus on whole foods and try to eat a good amount of protein and fiber to stay full throughout the day
