Congratulations! It's a really fucking hard thing to do and you should be very proud of yourself! After a large shift in body composition I really recommend getting some blood work - especially to check testosterone levels. I lost a bunch of weight and everything looked better for me, except my T levels had cratered which made me feel overall lethargic. Since then I've been focused more on maintenance to try to get them to come back up.

I recently went through a similar journey - I've lost ~80 lbs since March of 2022 and am now focused on maintaining (Before/After: https://www.instagram.com/p/CjG4AmDvG2w/ - still technically obese though). I was a college athlete and really struggled after college with "working out". I never "worked out", I always "trained". I couldn't bring myself to go to the gym for a couple hours a day without something to work towards. At one point I got super into CrossFit but all that went out the window when I had my first kid. I wish I could say I found balance, but getting super into Jiu Jitsu has been the latest thing to get me to drop weight.

Honestly I find maintaining harder than losing. When I was focused on losing weight I would just think "If I'm a little bit hungry I'm OK", but now focusing on maintenance I had to be much more diligent about tracking calories/macros.
