If you're working out 5 days a week and don't have the physique you're after, you need to do different work outs. If you're trying to slim down, lifting weights 5 days a week and cramming protein powder is the wrong workout
This advice is so incomplete as to be pretty unhelpful at best. Not trying to be a jerk, but A) the kinds of workouts you're doing don't have much at all to do with weight loss, and B) the number of people for whom too much protein powder is the reason they can't lose weight is...I mean, it just must be vanishingly small. These are not the reasons most people who want to be slimmer are not, even the ones who are real active.
There are a lot of people who don't realize that different workout regiments accomplish different things. They follow some shredded dude on insta who shares their workout, and they think if they do the same thing, they'll look like them.
If you wanna be shredded and you're over weight today, you have to slim down before you bulk up
Also, in reference to the pic from op, That dudes strong already. If they want to look "better," more weights isn't the answer
Ignoring the fact the shredded dude is on HGH or whatever else.
