I’ll start by saying not every overweight person should but you don’t have to wait to take steroids.
Few fat people already possess a great deal of lean mass. Going on a hard deficit and shedding a bunch of weight generally leads to the loss of lean mass. In the world of GLP1 agonists, a 50/50 loss of fat tissue to lean tissue is considered to be "okay".
I went from 25.5% bf last year to 15.6% body fat in a 5 month period and gained a pound of lean tissue in the process which I attribute to hitting my protein requirement, training often, and ~300mg/wk or thereabouts of AAS.
