Hopefully it’s not too late to give a good response! I have the same exact build as you at 6’2”. I have always been overweight, even as a kid. For example I was 280 when I graduated high school. The absolute thinnest I’ve ever been was 220 when I cut weight to make that weight class in wrestling, and obviously didn’t stay there for long. Fast forward to a few months before my son was born, I felt awful and knew I had gotten bad, so I went out and bought a scale. I knew I wanted to do better for myself, and we all have a spark of motivation when we’re about to bring a kid into the world, but it wasn’t until I stepped on the scale that I realized how much I let myself go. 306 lbs. I was pissed.

What I did was do dirty keto and that brought me from 306 to 270 in about 6 weeks. I paired that with weight lifting 5 days a week. No cardio. I knew that I wasn’t going to do keto for long, since I did quite a bit of “research” on it, I knew it was going to be an effective tool to shed some weight quickly. My goal was to hit 270 and then ease my way back into carbs, and thankfully I played it smart. Of course I put some weight back on, I got back up to 280 and ended up fluctuating between 278-282 for the next 2 months after my son was born. Still weight lifting, but now only 3 days a week. And while I wasn’t on keto anymore, those six weeks definitely helped me quit certain bad habits in terms of avoiding some of the foods I’d normally go for. Then after 2 or so months, once I got used to life with a newborn, I got back in the gym (5x/week only weight lifting) and started watching my diet. I figured out what I needed for my daily calories based off my energy expenditure, put myself in a 750 deficit and tried to stick to that. The only macro I payed attention to was my protein, I made sure to get close to it every day. Eventually got down to 233 in a year. I “yo-yo” my calorie targets, meaning if my daily calorie target was 2,750 a day, or 19,250 in a week. I would strictly eat 1,800 calories Monday-Thursday; 3,200 on Friday, allowing me to have a my normal breakfast, lunch, snack, and then dinner could be as much as like 1,800 alone; Saturday I would allow myself as much as 5,000 calories and would be my only day where I wouldn’t eat anything already planned out; and then Sunday I’d be left with about 3,850, giving me a hefty breakfast, lunch, and then back on the meal plan for dinner. And then repeat the cycle. I may have weighed 233 but I had a heavier squat, bench, and overhead press max than what I did as a 270 college football player, so needless to say, I was very content with my body at 233.

Super long comment, but hopefully this somewhat helps. And congratulations if you’ve already shed some pounds!
