@jeffmarc In my strength training experience prior to PC and ADT (now 3 months into Orgovyx, Abiraterone, and Prednisone), I NEVER found it conducive to weight loss. In fact, just the opposite. I gained "good" weight. So I think it's wrong to expect that our weight training, however necessary, will help much (if at all) with weight control. It's just muscle-loss damage control. For weight control, I find that I burn more calories with cardio than weights over a given workout timespan, so I'd suggest walking or running in addition to the gym. And, of course, burn more calories than you take in - your recommendation on diet is right on.

I sure can’t disagree with you. When I say weight training, I mean, lifting weights only. Great for muscles ignored by fat, unless you are really sweating doing many reps.

That’s why I’m on the track twice every day, Trying to burn enough calories to at least help some with the weight problems.
