Lifting heavy means lifting heavy *for you* (and implies increasing over time.) you’re not doing op any favors by sneering at 25 lb dumbbells (which might, in fact, be TOO heavy for her.)
+1
I read something recently that as long as you are lifting *to failure* the weight doesn’t matter as much. You’re still building muscle.

OP, strength training (lifting heavy) 3x per week really helped me lose weight.
I really did not have to diet. In fact if you are lifting heavy you want to make sure you are getting enough calories.
I could eat more and pounds kind of came off.

This. Especially the weight gain associated with aging. You gotta fight that muscle loss!

30 mins 3-5x a week. Still to the basics to build some muscle - squats, deadlifts, chest press, rows, shoulder press etc.

Plate pushes- take your plate of food and push it away.
Joking aside, to lose the last 10 lbs you will need to heavily focus on diet lifting weights it great for your body, but fat loss, especially fat loss when you are already a healthy weight, is all about diet.

+1. BUT, and this is a huge BUT, strength training and eating plenty of protein can help you lose fat instead of muscle. And that. Can be critical for your health if you are a perimenopausal/ menopausal woman.

3 days a week of HARD workouts. Focus on push-pull movements, lunges, squats, rows. Important to note that 90% of weight loss will come from your diet.
