129 lb F/26. I recently lost 50 lbs. i did an inbody scan and have 23% BF. I would like to get to the 19-21% range to maybe develop better ab line for the aesthetics.

I have no idea where to start with this. A body recomp? My diet consists of AM fast, ground beef sweet potato and kale for lunch, then chicken and rice for dinner. I stay away from sweets and dairy. I work out 5 times a day and do weightlifting. Do I need to incorporate cardio? More ab exercises? Help!

I'm currently an urban planner for a larger-sized East Coast city, reviewing development projects for historic compliance, coordinating with developers/ architects/contractors, and evaluating large-scale investment proposals.

Before that I worked as a real estate project coordinator (tracking permits, timelines, and a multi-property portfolio) and did policy/research work in urban planning.

I'm considering moving into construction or project management roles, ideally in NYC, and I'm trying to figure out the most realistic path in.

A few questions:
\- Is my background (permitting/compliance/ coordination, not hands-on field work) enough to break into entry-to-mid PM roles, or do I need field/ trade experience first?

\-Worth getting OSHA 30 and a Procore cert before applying, or just apply and learn on the job?

\- Public sector (housing agency PM roles) vs. private developer/GC - which is the smarter entry point for someone with my background?

Appreciate any input, especially from people who've made a similar jump or who hire for these roles.

Need insight. 5 year relationship. Feels like we’re in it bc it’s harder for us to break up than to be together.
