Many who are overweight also have signs of insulin resistance this puts themvat higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes. You can get all of that down by getting your bf% below 20%. Lower is even better. It is true that I did a Recompisition cycle when I was overweight as I mentioned but I already had many years of training, knowledge, and ASS use in my history. I knew what I was doing and applied it, and it worked. This is not a beginner's advised course if action.
My advice to you OP is continue dieting and eating low fat, high protein foods below your maintenance calories until you get down below 20, preferably 15 or so. Then get a metabolic panel to check your liver, kidney, cholesterol profile. If it looks good, do a low dose test only cycle (low dose is subjective, so I'll state 500mg weekly). Take hCG throughout the cycle to keep your leydig cells functioning so they don't 'dry out' , and do a proper pct to get things back on track HPA wise afterwards. But not until you've assessed your body with the mentioned blood tests.
GL. And please don't cycle at 38% if you care about your cardiovascular health.
