In my experience I have to gain weight to gain strength. How can I keep strength and cut 20 lbs? Is it possible with the right regimen and diet?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Gain strength and cut - is it possible?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I lost 15 pounds of fat while also setting personal bests in all of my lifts. I was stronger than I'd ever been. Granted, my diet was super strict; I lived and breathed my macros for a year straight. It all depends on how bad you want it.
I used intermittent fasting and reverse pyramid training via Martin Berkhan (leangains.com). Best lifting/diet advice I've ever found, and I've been researching lifting for over 15 years. Different things work for different people, though.
PM me if you want specifics.

When you loose weight, your gonna have a decrease in strength. So, once you "cut" down to whatever size you want, your gonna have to work your way back up to that strength with your new body weight. Depending on how much you loose and other variables things could go either way. Everybody is different, only way you will know is by trial and error until you get more experience and find what works for you.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I think you need to clarify that you want to gain strength and cut FAT, not weight in general. Like Krueg said, highly unlikely you are going to gain strength without maintaining or adding muscle weight.
In that case, yes it's possible but only with very clean eating and plenty of protein. Need to make sure you take in some good carbs too, especially after a workout.

As per my point of view fresh drinks and low diet food is a must, and it needs to digest at time. In order to digest properly drink protein shake and make sure to take in some carbs too.

You can gain strength on a cut... If you had been inactive.JustinBustin said:
You can maintain most of your strength on a cut, if you take your time and drop weight. Drop 1-3 lbs a week, by adding cardio, and adjusting diet... You can keep most of your strength.
If you lost a bunch of water or lose weight too fast, you won't feel as powerful.

If you are a noob, yes.
You shouldn't really try to lose weight per se but recomp.
If you are a noob all you need to do is get on a 5x5 and stay at maintainance, you will increase muscle mass and reduce fat for about the first 3 months.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
