I feel like I'm taking one step foward and two steps back

Hello, I (28 F) have been trying to get back in shape. Back in 2018-2019 I started my weight lost journey and got pretty far. However, a depressive epsiode and fall out with ex-friends cause me to gain my weight back. I was at my heaviest in 2023-2024. I want to get back to losing weight and hit my weight loss goal 140 by next year for my 30th birthday and I want to wear a pretty dress.

I current weight fluctuates bewteen 216-222. I've been working working out since January 12th of this year. I admit during May I had two weeks were I didn't workout at all. But, I made up for it by exercising for an hour rather than my thirty and forty-five minute workout.

The hard part of me lossing weight is eating while im on the road, out of boredom and stress. I'm also on like three types of medications for anxiety and depression so that could be a factor in my appetite. My therapist suggested to write like a monthly/weekly goal of how may pounds of weight I want to loose. My doctor suggested take the calorie I normally should eat at my size and subtract 500 from it. I am planing on doing a calorie deficit pretty soon. Idk whats my calorie intake if I want to loose 80 pounds. My doctor and therapist suggested those weight loss shots. Im still hesitant on taking them because of the side effects.

Another reason why I bringing up my weight is because of my mom. I know that she cares but the way she goes about it is condescending. I know there's history of diabetes on both sides of my family. My dad is currently diabetic but not to the point he has to take insulin. My mom despite being physically active and eating right has gallstones. I get it but also the harping about my weight has been getting old. She’s been like this since I was a kid. I checked my blood work and lab results and they were fine. My doctor pointed out that im still young, but I want to get my weight down so it wouldn't be a problem when I get older.

When it comes to my body type I think I'm midsize. This is not me humble braging I know Im top and bottom so probably most of my weight comes from there. Idk man, I need help.
