It's good to see you've done your homework.

You've got the principles pretty much down.

At the end of the day, weight loss is a simple equation

Caloric intake - caloric output = caloric deficit

This caloric deficit causes you to use your stores of fat or muscle for energy. If you eat crap, your muscle will be used for fuel. If your diet and training are in check, you'll use fat (which is what is desired).

Welcome to the world of fitness. If you're anything like I was in my teenage years, you'll see some results soon and be hooked for life.
