I hope this is the right forum.. if not, I'm sorry ;)

I have been weight training for about 3 months now. My BF is 15 % and I want to get it down to less than 10. I don't plan to reduce my weight training in order to get down to 10 %, I will just do some cardio training the days I don't weight train. Should I expect to loose some muscle mass or..?

Thanks in advance :)
 
Lifting is extremely important while in a caloric deficit and while doing cardio to retain muscle. Stick with a solid full body routine at least 3 days a week to preserve muscle allowing for proper rest in between.
 
Just keep lifting doing whatever rep range you're doing at the moment and lift on the same days doing the same thing you're doing now. The only things that need to change are your diet and, as you said, do some cardio. But yeah keep lifting to retain muscle mass you already have.
