This is a pretty engaging listen from Ethan Supplee's American Glutton podcast. His guest, Mike Israetel, and he discuss the benefits of resistance training during a diet regime. I've listened to a few of Ethan's podcasts about his weight loss and have had similar experiences with losing weight both from just strict dieting and from diet changes coupled with weight training and cardio.
The short of it is - add in some moderate weight training to reach your goal easier while looking better than by "dieting" alone.

You're doing a great job of pre-planning your meals! Are you using a food scale and MyFitnessPal to keep it real on the calorie count?

Using a food scale. And measuring cups etc Have not been tracking as regularly as I need to be.

Will give it a listen. Thanks!

Dr. Mike is the real deal. Love his coaching ques, training advice and programing. And following Supplee has been inspiring.

Obviously, nutrition is important but weight training is a must. Absolute must. And don't stop at "moderate". I'm an advocate of not holding back but instead committing and going all in with smart and hardcore lifting. Find some good programs (Israetal's Renaissance Periodization has great programs and templets and coaching-for both training AND nutrition. The Renaissance Diet 2.0 is very good) and follow it.
