Exercising often helps, cardio probably being most effective.
DON'T STARVE YOURSELF EAT WELL.
as long as you eat healthier you can undertake a habit of eating slightly healthier everyday.
If you want to lose fat, i recommend a keto diet, since eating fatty foods forces (fatty foods forces hehe) your body to use fat as a main energy source, instead of carbs and such.
If you want upper-body muscles, i can personally say that doing the "Hit The Deck" program really did it for me.
It's three weeks of pushups every 15, 30, 45 ,50 , or 60 minutes, and a certain amount each time of a total.
For example say you can do 20, then week 1 would be this: (i used this https://d3suu.neocities.org/russianpushup.html )
Day 1 (30% every 60min): 6 pushups
Day 2 (50% every 60min): 10 pushups
Day 3 (60% every 45min): 12 pushups
Day 4 (25% every 60min): 5 pushups
Day 5 (45% every 30min): 9 pushups
Day 6 (40% every 60min): 8 pushups
Day 7 (20% every 90min): 4 pushups
as for lower-body muscle... i don't know.
