Quickest way to cut.
1. Calorie deficit (200 or more calories)
2. Intense Full body resistance training sessions
3. Cardio (HIIT>LISS)

This is a good start. Though IMO if you are just starting out on this, I would start out hitting my "maintenance" calories. Reason being is that is just a basic calculation that your body doesnt really care about. Give it about a month and see where you are. Take pictures in good lighting so you can clearly see how things are going. If it looks like you gained a lot of fat, subtract some calories. If it looks like you are improving in the direction you want than stay there. This is a process and not a quick fix.

Before you go asking about supplements, the only thing you should have is Athletic Multi, Creatine Mono, and some 100% Whey. I would stay away from all thermogenics until you know what you are doing.

Look into a good/semi decent fat burner too , and toy with your macros if you start to plateau with your weight loss!
