Does not matter. Do not skip leg day. It can be by far the best work out you can do

Just back exercise like lat pull downs and a set of cable rows
May I suggest deadlifts instead?Much better back exercise, and will work your legs too. Swap out bicep curls with bent over rows or db rows.

It depends on what your goals and methods are. I was dieting too with less calorie intake. The sore muscles were burning calories 24/7 on top of that. I was pretty serious. It also depends on the amount of time you do a training plan. i guess I'm a little special in that for me, 2000 calories is the equivalent of 1500 for 98% of the population (I'm a giant) but the principles should apply for everyone.

Loose about 80 more pounds and develop my biceps, chest and shoulders.
I had a goal of 10lbs the first month and lost 18. Same goal for the next month and It looks like I'm on the right track to meet that, hopefully

If you really want to lose weight, you'll have to develop your whole body. You need to work on back, legs, and abs.
Think about it like this. Say you have flabby arms at 5% of their potential. You get them up to 40% of their potential. You will have lost maybe 2 pounds from that. You have flabby legs too. You develop them from 5% to 40%, you have lost 10 pounds there.
Your body is all interconnected. I have a slipped disc right now so I'm doing a bunch of stretching and its reminding me, you can't leave any part untouched. If you have a flabby stomach,!you sin getting as much out of curls. You have a weak back, your straining your back when you bench press.
I was speaking to a trainer at a large training institution. He said push-ups are the perfect do it yourself exercise because it works everything and he said squats were the perfect weight wise.

My body packs on lbs with only weight training. I must run or cycle in order to drop weight.

Cuz I'm already fat. Squatting 400 lbs doesn't make my clothes fit better.

So you want to lose muscle and fat? I have to say I am amazed by all the people here that are able to gain such large amounts of muscle while eating in a calorie deficit.

No man. I'm at least as educated as you. I know there is no way to "gain muscle and lose fat." In the short term, I am aggravated by gaining weight in a calorie deficit.

To answer your question. 2-3 lbs per week is what a dr. will recommend. I'm not saying it'll work for you, but this is what I've done. Started at 331, down to 270 since February. More importantly, I've lost roughy 6" off my waist. Goal of 2300 calories/30 carbs per day. No cheat days. I have a bad knee from high school made worse by a shite load of fat, so I started with walking 1 mile a day for 2 weeks. Then I went to the gym.
Next month:
Incline to 2 @3 for 2-3 min to warm up then incline to 5 @3.5 for 12-13 min to get your heartbeat going.
5 diff lift excersises (5 sets in reverse pyramid rep with a drop set 12-10-8-6-12, getting heavier with every rep) involving bigger muscle groups. No muscle specific lifts. For instance, instead of isolation dumbbell bicep curls, I did bicep curl to Arnold press. (Google it)
Between reps, max 1 min rest but don't just sit there. Walk, pace, move around to keep your heartbeat up.
After lifting treadmill inclined to 7@3 for 10 minutes the 5 minutes cool down and a long and thorough stretch. (Learned that the hard way)
No necessary order, but:
Day 1 chest/shoulders/arms
Day 2 lower body. Deadlift were hard at first bc of my knee so I did kettle ball squat swings with dumbbells a lot.
Day 3 back
Day 4 lower body
Day 5 same as day one
Day 6 low rep higher weight circuit stuff. Diff body parts, just to get a feel for what to add or subtract the next week.
I go 5-6 days a week, no excuses. I'll be at the gym Sat am before heading to tailgate.
I eat a lot of tricking tuna/salad/egg whites/almonds and drink a ton of water. I'm married with 3 kids, one on the way, in school full time and work full time that requires a fair amount of travel. ECA stack without the a from time to time helps me with energy. Good luck!

How and why are you gaining weight in a calorie deficit?

Beats me. Hence my frustration. I'm sure its temporary. While thermodynamics is pretty constant, factors like gluconeogenesis are at play.

Because sometimes I'm already a little heavier than where I want to be.

So you are more concerned with the number on the scale than body composistion?

High protein foods like lean cuts of meat, grille instead of frying, eating turkey in place of beef a lot, no sugary snacks, no white bread, rice or potatoes, no soda and no fast food. I eat nothing after 8pm either.
