Edith Cowan University research revealed that muscle strength benefits are seen with consistent, short exercise sessions. Participants performing a three-second eccentric bicep contraction thrice weekly saw strength improvements. Daily 20-minute exercises might be more beneficial than a single 2-hour weekly session. Regularity, even in short durations, is key to health benefits.

In fact, energy restriction + high protein + resistance training appears to be the best of all for losing fat:

Not to say aerobic exercise isn't important - far from it - but if you want to lose fat, caloric deficit plus hi protein plus lifting wins.

What is energy restriction? That video is looong

Less energy in, so less kCal (I assume)

Caloric restriction, or eating less calories than you burn off. Yeah, it is long, but it's a good watch.

TL;DW: eat less calories than you burn off, eat more protein, and lift weights or do calisthenics (body weight exercises like pushups, etc).
