Will I have a decent amount of muscle after losing a bunch of weight?

Simple Questions

Hi, I’m 310 pounds and 6’0

I’m starting my weight loss journey and currently I’m getting 180-200g of protein a day at 2000 cals a day, currently doing ULRULRR

My question is after I’ve lost the weight (currently aiming to be 180 pounds) will I have a decent physique with some muscle? I see conflicting answers about this and was curious. I know that after I lose all the weight I could do a body recomp or build a good physique but I’m wondering if it’ll be needed? Or because I’m cutting even though I’m lifting will I still have little muscle? Just a bit confused on this. Thanks
