Lifting weights makes you look bulky and is less effective for long-term fat loss than cardio.

Developing significant muscle mass ("bulking") requires high training volume, specific heavy programming, and a continuous caloric surplus over a long period. Resistance training builds lean muscle mass, which increases your resting metabolic rate (RMR). This allows your body to burn more calories at rest, making a combination of strength training and cardiovascular exercise ideal for long-term weight management.
