Nothing magical about fasting, it's just a way for you to reduce your caloric intake.
Strength training is important for body composition, more important than cardio (and it takes less time). You should also do some form of strength training to combat osteoporosis as you age.
@The ADD
I don't typically fast for caloric restriction. It's mostly done for discipline/self control and spiritual reasons, which is why I do it regularly. I also find myself fasting unintentionally during hectic times in my life, when I tend to lose my appetite. That is the space that I am currently in.
I eat a pretty well balanced diet overall, and I don't deprive myself if I am craving something (carbs, or even sugar).
I had been strength training, but I wasn't sure if I should continue because I wanted to lean out. I will continue. You're right, it does so much more for the body than just toning.
Thanks so much for the advice!

The fasting comment was an aside for everyone, not really aimed at you. Folks that don't eat and then credit that for their weight loss just lacked the ability to effectively portion control. Fasting gives them a way to do this by reducing the amount of time (and thus food) they can eat.
As far as the strength training thing, the number one misconception most ladies have is that cardio > lifting for fat loss, body composition, aesthetics, etc. when it almost always the opposite that's the case. Building muscle will lean you out as the muscle burns calories just existing on your frame.
Also, remember that you cannot "tone" per se, you can only gain or lose body fat and build or lose muscle. Things like muscle shape and insertion points and tendon lengths are genetically determined and can only otherwise be affected by surgery.
Good luck and keep this thread in the back of your mind moving forward (that other one is no bueno

Imma eat these tendies then go do Upper/Bardio.
Yup. I fall in that category. I needed that tip because I have been primarily focused on increasing cardio for the past couple of weeks. When I said toning, I meant just the overall tightness/compression of the physique.

Last two days in the gym weren’t ideal but getting them in is more important.
Yesterday I got to the gym late so was only able to squat and do some SLDL. No time for leg press, leg curls or leg extensions. Still got in a decent work out once you consider the round trip bike ride.
Today I wasn’t fully focused because I lost my Airpods case and was one a 1-hr goose chase biking around town looking for em on the “Find My iPhone” app. Upper body was good but not as intense as I’d have liked.
Saving grace is I played soccer on Tuesday and can get in another leg day tomorrow. Also met this one dude at the gym who gave me some pointers on fixing the weakness in my left side. My bench has been slanted because my right side does more of the driving when I press the bar.
Still adding weight to the bar and still playing soccer so all is good.
