Yeah, I’m still obese. I almost got down to overweight, I was within 3kg, but… I’ve had/been some setbacks. By height + BMI, I should be targeting 165lbs. / 75kg, but I’m still finding it impossible to stick to a diet that provides a calorie deficit. (I have in the past, but don’t seem to now.)
My physical health is better by basically any metric. I encourage anyone that is overweight to lose it.
It can be a bit like climbing a mountain, sometimes you gotta stay at a certain height for a while to let your body acclimatise and get used to your new lifestyle.
Without a strict exercise routine it can get harder/slower the closer you get to that goal. I’d say don’t beat yourself up, make maintenance the goal for a bit while making little changes until you’re ready to push on.

That’s great that you did lose weight, glad you feel better even if you haven’t met your goal yet
Good job
