Is lifting beneficial in losing weight?

What you need is to build more muscles to lose weight. Fasting way to build muscle is to life Heavy (weight training). If you want to expedite the results, watch you diet as well as do some HIIT (High intensity interval training). Cut all sugars (sugary drinks) and process foods. Cheers!

Lifting weights will make you lose weight because you are burning calories, but it will also make you gain weight in muscle density so it’s hard to record. Cardio, etc would make you lose weight but not gain.

Try to loose weight by controlling your diet first. Lifting weights only won't help you enough. Try to sort out your diet and try to have healthy diet along with good cardio and normal weights workout.

Also do have a trainer for yourself because your age is good and a good trainer would really boost your body by guiding you to do some good exercise.

Of course it is - like others have said, by lifting weights you are burning calories. Which is essentially what makes you lose weight (calorie deficit).

You need to have a proper diet and count your calories.

[Nazifaross]

Yes, of course. With proper diet

Cardio Burns More Calories per Session
Many scientists have researched how many calories people burn during various activities.

Based on this research, you can use your body weight to estimate how many calories you will burn during different types of exercise, including cardio and weight training.

For most activities, the more you weigh, the more calories you will burn.

If you weigh 160 pounds (73 kg), you will burn about 250 calories per 30 minutes of jogging at a moderate pace (1Trusted Source).

If you were to run at a faster pace of 6 miles per hour, you would burn around 365 calories in 30 minutes (1Trusted Source).

On the other hand, if you weight trained for the same amount of time, you might only burn around 130–220 calories.

In general, you’ll burn more calories per session of cardio than weight training for about the same amount of effort.
