Do you need to maintain a caloric deficit while working out to see results?

Hi all!

This might be a very basic question.

I am very close to hitting my goal weight using CICO + daily long walks. Initially, I was working out doing some weight lifting and pilates on top of an hour walk every day, but I stopped for a week while I was menstruating, then found CICO was a little easier when I was less active so decided to pause the non-walking workouts until I hit my goal weigh since I was so close.

My overall goal is losing fat, adding some muscle, and also a more toned body, specifically in my core/tummy area (I know you can't do spot weight loss but belly fat was what pushed me into losing weight in the first place. And the weights and pilates did seem to be helping to tone things up.)

I am planning on phasing back in working out with weights, but will it be more effective if I am also in a caloric defecit despite being at my goal weight? (ie, if I am eating my maintance and working out am I less likely to see visible results?)

Apolgoeis is this is a stupid question - very much a begininger!
