Hi, I think that you could dot the full body workouts for the beginning, because you would train everybodypart more often and the progression of strenght would also be more balanced. I would also recoment you to do cardio after the strenght training, because your muscles would be active and your body would be warmed up and it helps in burning fat. The last thing that i can recomend you is eating more compound sugars as the carbs, because it will give you energy without the feeling of being full. :)
