Overall advice

I am 28 yrs old, 56 kg, 174 cm. I have been lifting for the past 1 year. Current macros P120 C180 F35.

Last year I started working with a coach who had me on P120 C125 F35 for about 6 months. During that time I felt really tired and grouchy and noticed my lifts weren't getting stronger so I quit. 1200 cals wasnt doing it for me.

I continued to lift and had some good improvement on my body comp (currently about 20%). My goal is 17%.

I got a bit bored with weights (was lifting 3x wk) and switched to hiit (with lighter weights) 3x wk. In addition, I added some incline walking 3x wk on the off days (30-45 min). Obviously I noticed some l leaning out. I know my strength isnt as good now as it was when lifting so i was thinking about doing weights 3x wk and cardio 3x wk. I thought it would help me maintain my muscle mass. However, i do feel like i got pretty quick results in just 4 weeks if hiit.

Any advice on which style of training will be most efficient and give me the fastest results? Hiit and cardio or weights and cardio?
