The higher percentage of lean mass to fat ratio you have the faster and mroe effecient you will lower your fat percentage. I think thats the big key here also.
If you look at this in terms of losing weight: in the long run it could be counterproductive. Have you ever seen anyone thats skinny, but still flabby?
If someone is losing weight, but actually doing it through breaking down their muscle tissue while they're fat stays the same can give a false sense of accomplishment initally. One advice I will give you is how your measuring your progress.
Dont just use a scale.
Get skin fold calipers
nylon tape measure
scale
if your fat percentage is going down and your lean mass increasing, you may gain some weight, but its good weight which in turn will help you burn fat
if you fat percentage stays the same or even increases and your lean mass decreases, but you loose a few pounds your not going in the right direction I assure you, it will eventually backfire causing a great deal of discouragement.
Weight training will help you burn fat.
If you do your weight training routine first 30-45 minutes intense training your burning glycgen, and tapping into energy you have gotten if your hopefully have eaten some complex carbs (not simple carbs)
then do your cardio after; guess what your using as fuel to power through that session?
