Gym or Bodyweight Exercise (Calisthenics) for an Overweight Beginner?

please read the whole thing, I really need some help.

I'm 19, I weight around 98-100kgs. I have been fat all my life. I even lost 10 kgs last year but gained it back due to lack of discipline, depression and other personal matters.

I am pursuing my weight loss journey once again but this time, properly. I have learned a lot from my last attempt. I tracked calories via food scale and walked 6-8k steps daily, but I neglected any sort of strength training.

At first, I tried doing calisthenics because going to a gym is very much out of my comfort zone. I know that each calisthenics exercise has easy variations but the internet says that gym is much better for overweight individuals due to the easy accessibility and quicker progress.

I just can't decide between both, because as of now, I can do calisthenics at home and for free while I would have to pay for gym and get out of my comfort zone.

which is the better option for me? both are equally overwhelming for me so I would have to curate some sort of workout plan. so yeah, I need some guidance on this matter.
