Update 3: Advice on lowering belly fat percentage and building muscle simultaneously

Original Post: So basically three weeks ago I quit my job and I was tired of being overweight. I had been this way since like around 7th grade and I'm now 2nd year in university. I wasn't overweight to the point that I was truly at health risks but it's just something I wanted to do for years my worst all time was around 208 pounds I'm a 19 years old 6 foot not a bad looking guy just overweight to the point I felt insecure about my looks. I'm a very social person since last year because I worked on that but my health is something I wanted to work on. My worst bmi was 28.2 at 208 and I lost maybe like 5 of that just working at my job this summer walking around a lot but I wasn't eating great or working out consistently enough. I took a photo at my worst then to now is honestly shocking the difference even when I know I'm still only about halfway to my goal. Now after working out everyday running, eating healthy and cutting down on portion sizes and cutting out all non natural sugars, sweets sodas only the occasional beer I'm down to 192 pounds. I feel truly so much better after I workout in the morning and I know I'm making amazing progress to reach my goal of 175 pounds for being a 6'0 male. Trust me anyone reading this that needs the motivation just fucking do it you will feel so much better about yourself and food will no longer control you don't worry about gaining muscle just focus on the weight loss until you reach your goal.

Update 2:

Hey everyone been a minute since my last post to recap my first post was when I first started I weighed about 204 pounds 6'0 male. Now three months since starting I'm down to 174 (bmi went from 28.2 to now 23.6 if you are curious). I feel amazing and look great. I've been dating a lot more, I'm more confident and I feel much healthier. My original goal was 180 I did that, now I'm going for 160 pounds and after that I plan to start lifting and put on a bit of muscle. Overall it has been a amazing transformation! Only 14 more pounds to go for 160 before I start lifting!

Now:

Alright so hasn't been that long since the last update but I'm down to 170-169 and obviously I have lost a lot of weight so far around 35 pounds started at 204 I'm a 6'0 19 year old guy. Obviously I've noticed huge changes weight wise and I plan to stay between 160-165 ideally probably lose about 5 more pounds but the thing is I don't know exactly how much body fat percentage I have currently but genetically a lot of fat goes to my belly in my family obviously it's a lot better then it was but still want to work on lowering body fat percentage and start lifting at the gym to build muscle. What advice do ya'll have for doing that. My gym is pretty good has almost everything I need I'm just not exactly sure what to do, my legs are really good it's mainly just adding more muscle on my arms and getting rid of the last of that lower body fat on my belly.
