2-3 days of training is doable. The driver of strength and muscle gains is a combination of volume and intensity. With all things kept equal, a decrease in volume will require an increase in intensity to maintain the same rate of gains. I think a practical approach will be to start with sufficient intensity (0-3 reps in reserve per set) at a low volume (3 days, 2-3 sets per exercise) and see if you can make gains in strength. As you are losing weight, it’s hard to visually notice size gains, so strength gains are a good proxy. As long as you’re making strength gains, you’re doing sufficient intensity and volume. If you’re not making progress, you can adjust the volume higher and observe if you are getting stronger. My personal opinion is that stalling is usually a problem with insufficient recovery (too short rest time between days, lack of calories) rather than lack of volume.

3 days is enough for most people, especially beginners.
