New to this group and looking for some advice on weight loss. I feel like the information out there is overwhelming to the point of idk if what I'm doing is right.
A little about me, I'm a 30 male who unfortunately recently hit 390lbs during quarentine despite cutting out all fast food and take out for the past 3 months (a 20 lb increase for me). Despite my size I'm rather active, I've been doing power lifting for around 4.5 years now. I routinely spend 2+ hours in the gym 3 to 4 times a week. When I started going to the gym and lifting I assumed I would drop weight but when I got hooked on getting new pr's and getting stronger over losing I stopped caring about losing weight. The old saying is weight moves weight, wanna lift more eat more. Now I never actively tried to gain or lose weight, I just ate what I wanted, and over these years I've went from 330 to 390. As I turned 30 recently I'm really starting to think more about longevity, health and athleticism over strength. Setting pr's has finally taken a back burner as it no longer excites me, but cardio and conditioning based goals do. Despite a recent doctor visit and blood work check coming back with an all clear on the health department I know some things need to change or I will have problems sooner then later.
I've had very limited success with losing weight in the past. Occasionally spending 6 months at a time trying to lose some weight only gaining it back very quickly after stopping eating cleanly. When trying to lose weight I typically eat a pretty bland diet. Chicken and rice mostly with some other things mixed in, greek yogurt, fruit, nuts, protein bars, and I exclusively drink water. But even when eating at a extreme deficit sometimes the scale just doesnt move. The other old saying, calories are king, doesnt seem to always hold true for me. Despite using BMR calorie calculators, eating a deficit doesnt always seem to work.
So in short. I dont know what exactly I'm asking for. Just some advice or help?
