<human>: Hi everyone, first post here (though I lurk like no other).

I'm a 22 year old male, 5'8" about 180 lb, ~15% BF. I was hovering around 200 lb a few months back, but from mostly a few 4-5 mile runs a week plus modest diet adjustments, was able to shed a few pounds while training for a 5K I did last weekend.

The problem is, I don't really know what to do in the gym. I'm fairly muscular for my height, but enjoy weightlifting. Running is okay but not my favorite exercise (and frankly, even with good shoes, I worry about knees/shins). 

I'm only looking to lose maybe 10-15 lb tops, as I am just now seeing definition in my lower abs/obliques. When I looked through FAQs/Starting Strength, it seems to be meant for people either looking to gain a decent amount or lose a large amount quickly (ie "Lose 40 pounds in 63 days"). I'm also getting confused when I look up HIIT training, as it's so open-ended that I'm finding few recommendations for my specific goals. What would you guys recommend in my situation? I'm relatively familiar with fitness terms/exercises/body processes, but I lack a basis to know when to go to the gym and what to do there. Thank you ll for your help!
