Question about skinny fat

[XYZ123]

Im about 185-190lbs with around 26% body fat at a hair below 5'10". While not heavy, I definitely do appear pretty fluffy as I have almost no muscle mass at all. Would it be better for me to lose some weight before starting the program or just start anyway?

If you have low muscle mass then address that first. The percent body fat will go down as an artifact of building muscle mass.
