Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
I am happy to see your motivation for your fitness.
Now the fact of weight loss is that when you start workouts , your weight falls drastically.
But later your weight loss speed reduces and you tend to loose weight slowly.
In my opinion, you should not get anxious and start weight training now.
You would now slowly and gradually loose your weight.
The best is to go slow and safe and be consistent with exercises.
I really don't find any reason to worry.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
