Is this enough?

I decided around a month ago to take things a bit more seriously with my diet and exercise, which I hadn't been very consistent with before. My priority is to lose fat. I am 5ft 7.5 and weigh 150lb.
I worked out my tdee and took off 20% which is 1500 calories. I make sure I do 10000 steps every day. I am working out in the gym 3 times a week. I do the 4 big lifts, Barbell squat, bentover row, Deadlift, bench press, with progressive load.
I am trying to eat 100g of protein a day.
I feel these are the right things to do but have a fear that 6 months down the line nothing will have changed and I've wasted my time!!

Those all sound like excellent things to do.

On the weights in particular, those are all great compound exercises. I find them very satisfying! The most important thing is to go regularly and do it! So if this is working for you, don’t mess with it.

But, you may get bored of those four before long. Have a play with other things too. Henley Fitness (on Instagram etc) has a free six week programme which is a good one to get you trying different things.

Sounds like the right sorts of things to me. I'd add in an overhead press to your lifts, and you can play around with different kinds of squats. I'd probably add in lat pull downs, as they give you the pull muscle pattern of a pull up.

If your gym has a sled with track, that is an excellent way to build strength & endurance - and you don't need much technique!

Main thing is, are you tracking lifts & making sure you're in progressive overload? That is, that you're adding a bit of weight to your lifts every few weeks or so? With good form, of course.

I'd second the recommendation of Rachel Henley's stuff - she does a paid programme as well, also have a look at MegSquats on YouTube, Insta etc. Her programme is free trial for a week, then a payment of about $US8 per month.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I'm doing progressive overload and tracking my lifts and weight. I'll look at the other suggestions, thanks!

Oh also lunges. I was not feeling tip top in my normal training session last week ( but of a cold and lungs clogged) so my PT had me doing body weight lunges. Forever. I felt it in my glutes the next day. And you could progress to weighted lunges using dumbbells or a sandbag on your upper back.

Also, have a look at Stacey Sims ideas on SIT: sprint interval training. Go as hard as you can on a static bike, or SkiErg, or treadmill for 30 seconds, then rest to recovery, then go again for another 30 seconds and so on, for 5 intervals. Very satisfying.

I do follow Stacey, and have seen her talking about interval training. I tried to ignore it as I thought I'd hate it!! Maybe I'll look into it more!
