I am a 35 year old male who is trying to lose fat and gain lean muscle, with the main aim to change the visual appearance and shape of my body. I am pear-shaped with lower body fat around glutes and thighs, which makes me look bad in pants and overall body shape.
I have been going to the gym over 1.5 years, have seen some changes (last Kris Gethins' 8-week advanced program - got lost again after 8 weeks), followed some diet plans and exercise regimes, though the biggest thing I am looking for is to get a very scientific and quantitative plan to achieve goals.
As I am human, I will miss diet sometimes and exercise regimes but I want to constantly course-correct and keep moving to my goal of a lean, muscular cut body shape [brad pitt in fight club ]

Personal coaches are too expensive (tried with one and wasn't too satisfied).
Exercising in the dark is very demotivating, which generally leads to me missing gym at times.
Reaching out to all who have a similar goal: Are you continuously monitoring your med markers and do you believe that will help in achieving your goals on a weekly/monthly basis?

Code:
I am NOW planning to start getting bi-weekly/monthly blood tests, dexa scans and other medical markers (testosterone levels, sleep) to accurately track my progress and make biweekly/monthly changes in my diet/exercise routine to stay motivated, have clear sight of progress and actually hit goals. Might use an excel or an app.
