Hey... I weight 76 kg, started at 83,8 kg in december 2024. Am 175 cm tall and eat about 2500 kcal and 1,6 gramms and more per kg bodyweight since december. Haven three days with less than 120g protein.

But my weight training sucks. I stsrted with 7,5 kg dumbbell presses and now I am at 12,5 kg. My barbell incline press was 2,5 kg each side now 7,5 kg so in total with barbell 35 kg.

Dunno what I am doing wrong? Doing Push Pull Leg 6 days a week, once I did PPL UL cause of time.

I feel so bad. Im doing everything I can

I know.

And OP already mentions they aren't sure whether to build muscle or lose fat, first, so I assumed they knew, too.

I mention it, because it sounds like OP might have landed into essentially trying tl do both at the same time. So my point is that while what they are doing will eventually get them where they want to be, it'll be slow, and that it doesn't really matter if they start with losing fat or gaining muscle. As long as they pick one, and commit to eventually switch to doing the other, they'll be on their way.

(Sure, it CAN matter, but usually whichever feels more immediately important to the person, comes with the most motivation)
