The diet part is challenging.
Luckily I hit 195 lbs 3 months ago, and while I haven't lost anymore weight (well, that's not true, I'm hovering between 190 and 193), my waistline has gotten smaller and I'm in a shirt size smaller. So I'm clearly doing something right. (Down from 290lbs at peak).
Protein intake is 70-80 grams/day. I tend to eat more fats than carbs, but I apparently need to be careful about this as sometimes I only got like a third of what I needed minimum.
The lower body weights make sense. Squats with 50lbs of added weight hasn't actually changed how many I can do, almost exclusively because of blood pressure related issues (it's very easy for me to grey out/pass out). Knowing that, I'll see if I can find a gym that's easier to get to at least for that.
I'm glad the upper body isnt too dependant on equipment. When I was in school, the most pushups I could do was 10 on a good day and that was mostly because I weighed 120lbs at 6'. After creating a pushup routine, I'm up to a set of 15, and a set of 10 (and I can definitely see making it to two sets of 15 in a couple of weeks). You can practically feel your body expand with those lol.
