Answer 2

As you should just be concerned with just looking at dropping body fat, then yes.

Continue to do light to moderate cardio - typically in the morning.  You will have to be even more critical of your diet in this phase or your efforts will become skewed - either mass gain which will include some fat or fat loss accompanied by some lean mass.

Keep a close eye on you macro nutrient ratio.  Depending on when you workout, taper you calorie intake as well as your carb intake from morning to night.

As long as your shoulder is back to full strength, keep lifting heavy as the more muscle mass that you put on, the more fat you will burn throughout the day.  Keep feeding your body every 3-4 hours and you should see a steady decline.

Good luck!!

Answer 3

Well, h**l YES!  Muscle burns fat.
