How realistic is a recomp. I am currently

36 y/o
6’2”
209lb
37 inch waist

i just started Strength training for real after a lifetime of playing sports on and off and lifting very very inconsistently. For the last 10 years or so I have been “low carb” to maintain my weight at around 195. Recently I began to eat good carbs to Help with training. Question is can really gain muscle mass and lose belly fat in a “recomp” Or do I have to pick one over the other to start? And how much will being in a slight calorie deficit affect my strength gains. Main goal now is really to get strong As possible. But I also don’t want to get chubbier in the process. Thanks for any help.

If you’re new to resistance training and overweight/obese, then it’s more likely you can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. That said, with a 37" waist I’d recommend losing weight until you get in the 33-34 range.
