Thanks for this! I know I need to add weights into my workout routine but wasn't sure where to start. And now I do.

Summary - people who diet tend to undereat by far too much. This is not good for our metabolism and eventually it will harm it (if you diet at a low cal for months on end) as well as typically losing as much muscle as you do fat. Most people also end up gaining weight once they eat 'normally' again. It is better by far to eat more and do a small deficit, thus losing weight slowly but also keeping more muscle (more likely). They encourage you to find your TDEE (which is the amount of food you can eat to maintain your weight including any activity you do - exercise, daily amount on feet, looking out for kids, etc). If you have been eating at a very low cal diet for a long length of time, they encourage you to eventually get up to your TDEE, stay there a bit until weight stabilises and then do a 15% deficit. If you haven't been eating a very low cal diet, then you find your TDEE and do the 15% deficit.

In addition, they encourage weight lifting and eating a good amount of protein to protect your muscles.
