When trying to loose weight (I.e. body fat percentage) it’s not just that you want to limit muscle loss but it’s actually very effective if you gain muscle because the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn just maintaining those muscles.

I have a friend that was struggling with loosing weight until they started squatting a lot and once her legs started getting stronger everything else got easier so she could do more and more and this made loosing weight significantly more rapid.
