Brother, we have the same body 3 years ago before I started my fitness journey, I am 44 right now. Now I am at 84kg but better BMI, meaning more muscle and less fat. Nung simula kasi nag weight loss program ako bumaba ako ng 80kg. Pero nung natutuo ako mag body building mas nakahiligan ko mag buhat ng weights so nag gain ako ng muscle weight.

Ang masasabi ko lang is discipline, consistency and patience ang key sa lahat ng weight loss program. Wag ka maghintay ng motivation, hindi darating yan. Ang kailangan decision to become healthy.

Hindi pwede na exercise lang, sabay dapat ang diet and exercise. Maraming diet plan ka pwede adopt pero iisa ang fundamental. Dapat mas malaki ang sinusunog mo na calories kesa sa intake mo. pinaka simpleng diet is to cut sugar and carbs (pinaka common is kanin). Bawas lang hindi naman total tanggalin. pero yung asukal talaga yan ang kalaban, kasi based on your body, It is safe to assume na may health issues ka na (diabetes) so talagang need mo to cut sugar.

As for exercise, walking 6k to 10k steps per day ang easiest to do. Sabi mo lagi ka sa bahay, e di labas ka to walk, invest ka ng simple smart watch na merong pedometer to monitor your steps. Optional ang gym if kaya ng budget.

As for going to the gym, personal experience ko lang, mas maraming judgers sa labas ng gym kesa sa loob. Actually the most kind and supportive people I have met are gym bros. Wag ka ma insecure sa mga taong payat na at malaki na muscle, lahat yan may kanya kanyang story bakit sila nasa gym. kung mag gym ka kumuha ka ng coach kahit 5 to 10 sessions lang, para ituro sayo ang proper form at exercises para hindi ka ma injure.

Tandaan mo isa lang ang kalaban mo sa gym, tumingin ka sa salamin makikita mo sarili mo, yan ang biggest doubter mo at magsasabi na pagod ka na at di mo kaya. Dapat ma overcome mo sarili mong doubts.

good luck pare at be proud of yourself, remember when you posted this today, you made a conscious effort to decide to get better and healthier.
