I go to planet fitness
LBM vs Fat is what I thought you would use as the golden ruleI wouldn't worry about weight. Go by the tape measure. Chest, neck, biceps, thighs. Forget a weight scale. Strive for diameter.

....
If you have 22" arms and can pick 400-500# off the floor. Who cares if you're fat?...
Feeling this good is additctive
I'm in a similar situation. 210lbs 5'10" 37 years old.Last thanksgiving I weighed 209 (5’11”, 40yo). My blood pressure was in stage 1 hypertension consistently, also pre-dietetic. I have always worked out to gain weight. I ate fast food and ice cream, drank coke everyday. I didn’t look overweight but a BMI reading for health insurance said i was borderline obese. I started one hell of a diet and now I’m at 185lb, (same height, same age.. joke). And my blood pressure has been in a very healthy range. My diet has been primarily beans,.. lots of beans, spinach, hard boiled eggs, and lean beef. Cutting out all soda is a big factor in my opinion. I also dropped the weight and upped the reps at the gym. I used to do 5 sets of 6-8 reps and now I’m doing 3-4 sets of 20 reps. I get far more positive muscle soreness this way. I stopped drinking the energy drinks and the pre-workout. I used the pre-workout for so long i couldn’t imagine not using it but now I’m used to it and don’t miss it. I’ll drink a cup of coffee before i workout and that seems to do the trick. Im a 40yo father of 2 and have the best body I’ve had in my entire life. I never took diet serious and now it’s what has completely changed my life. I’ve stopped snoring (happy wife) and not sweating at night like i used to. I feel good. Calorie intake is down and protein intake is up. There are some other things i think helped in my routine such as when to eat/workout, but just wanted to share this. If you read this far i appreciate it.

I went home and binge ate like there was no tomorrow, Friday thru Sunday. Been low carb since (2 weeks now) and I'm about 196lbs.
Next task is hitting the gym.
