What Exatcly is "Cutting?"

[Mr Boogeyman]

If you make a calorie deficit combined with exercise and weights then you are loosing weight but If you make a calorie deficit and and exercise and do heavy weights then your cutting? is this correct?

So basically if you don't want to build bigger muscles just loose fat and define your body you want to cut right?

Cutting means creating a calorie deficit to loose weight/fat and keeping as much lean body mass as possible. You can create a deficit by eating less or exercising more. If you want to loose fat and get more definition than yes, you could cut.
