Lose fat and add muscle, order?

Super high heart rate

My resting heart rate is fairly normal (in the 60s). But the second I do anything (even a casual walk), it jumps to over 100. When I do strenuous work, it gets close to 200. Are there ways to bring this down? Does it matter that it’s so high (in terms of performance)? My doctor doesn’t seem to be concerned from a medical standpoint.

Can I do full body workouts back-to-back days?

Or do I need a buffer day to rest?
