BTB is right in that almost anything works for a beginner.
And as Aoife said, one has to account for the deficit size with the workout type.
Some of Lyle's programs have you on a big deficit, with targeted low rep/high weight lifting and easy strolling cardio.
Something like NROL FL1 - it is more like you are eating non-active maintenance and adding these higher rep workouts to your day with possibly some intervals on a couple of days.
Not NROL FL1 with intervals on a super-big deficit.
The LBM loss studies I've seen referenced around are things like comparing 800 calories a day plus steady state cardio to 800 calories a day plus weight training.
Cardio group loses more weight in 12 weeks, weights group loses less weight but retains more LBM (and so loses greater % as BF).
