Come lo risolviamo al meglio?
Use 'la' only when the antecedent is feminine; 'lo' would be wrong if you’re referring to a feminine problem.
Come la risolveremo al meglio?
‘Risolviamo’ is present tense (we solve). ‘Risolveremo’ is future tense (we will solve) and changes the meaning.
Come la risolviamo al più bene?

Cultural Tip
In Italian, using the pronoun 'la' signals that the speaker is referring to a specific feminine noun (e.g., 'la questione', 'la situazione'). If the problem is masculine, replace it with 'lo' (e.g., 'Come lo risolviamo al meglio?'). The phrase is neutral in register, but in very formal settings you might prefer 'Qual è il modo più appropriato per risolverla?'.
