So, I have to start weightlifting from a skinny prick? Or I lose all the fight while weight lifting?

Well considering you need to eat a caloric surplus to gain any real mass, trying to lose weight while gaining muscle is counterproductive. I'd say start lifting at a fairly light pace and eat less claories than maintenace for a couple of months. You'll lose fat and gain strength. Not so much mass, but you can start a clean bulk once you're skinnier.

I'm not too clued up on how to bodybuild when starting off fat but there are people in the fitness group who have done it to great effect. Check the groups on my profile, join and make a tread.

If you have high body fat you need to do more body weight exercise and cardio workouts. They burn the fat off and get the body ready for weightlifting. Once you're in a manageable shape then start small with weights.
-
If you're fat you should still lift, but at a caloric deficit rather than a surplus. You won't make a ton of strength or muscle gainz because you won't have the energy required, but you'll shred the fat as long as you eat less calories than you expend. Quality of the food matters too

In my experience that's how I started. Got my endurance and strength up and started eating right. Then I began lifting. Worked for me at least.

Just because it worked doesn't mean it's the best way to go about it
