Any of this advice you got in this thread from three and a half years ago will still help.
The advice in your thread from three years ago will also help.
Most importantly, understand that you’ve been talking about wanting to “lose fat while preserving strength” for several unsuccessful years. You’re now 35 pounds fatter and your squat has gone up about 25 pounds, your bench is up 5 pounds, and your dead is up 50.
Tough love ahead: Stop being lazy by using “I don’t want to lose strength” as an excuse. Spend the next 12 weeks on a complete and focused fat loss plan, not trying to do a powerlifting plan while eating for fat loss. If you lose any strength, it’ll honestly be no big deal because you haven’t been making phenomenal progress. You can work on regaining lost strength after you’ve earned it by dropping the fat you’ve been talking about for a long time.
