@El Cid I would advise stick with his plan. Get functional and stronger. The weight will come off slowly with a smart diet, and light cardio. I like to walk in the mornings in a fasted state, with only black coffee.
I can empathize I am 5'10" and +250lb. A strong weight for me is around 220lb, I have put on weight in the last 6 months. I have been eating like I used to train. A few years ago I got down to 205lb by doing a 5x5 program, with lots of fasted walking, and weekend hiking in the Rockies.
I am a lot stronger and happier at around 220lb, and I became obsessed and restrictive about my diet. Looking back I was Orthorexic, and it was negatively affecting my performance, and life. I remember the days of making weight for a meet, and how dangerous and unhealthy it was.
