The reason your fat:muscle ratio isn't where you want it to be is because your weight:strength ratio isn't where it should be. You don't fix that by diverting nutrients away from training and losing weight, you do that by fixing your lifts, getting them where they should be, then worrying about the fat after you've done that.
