Body Dysmorphia After 100lb Weight loss (260lbs-160lbs)

Not long ago I completed my goal of losing 100lbs. Since then I have switched to focusing on muscle growth where I've now been hovering around the 175lbs range. I still struggle daily with how I view my body, despite all my friends and family telling me they can see a difference. I have trouble seeing it myself. When I look at a side by side photo then its easier but every time I look at the mirror in the morning I go back to feeling like nothings changed.

Here a comparison picture for reference

260lbs to 175lbs

I was wondering if anyone else has had or is going through similar issues like this? I've gone from fitting XL to M sized clothes yet there's always that voice in my head telling me I should just be wearing Xl still. The only time I feel happy with my body is right after finishing at the gym, but once that pump or adrenaline has worn off I go back to feel extremely self conscious. Even with this distorted view of myself the gym has become the best part of my day. I spent about 2 hours there daily 6 times a week so I've definitely changed my lifestyle during this 2 year transformation (used to sit and play video games 12 hours straight a day instead). So I guess I'm just looking for advice or reassurance that this is normal for me to feel this way, sorry if this is a bit of a rant I just don't know where else to ask this.
