Your current weight sounds perfect tbh, I'm aiming for 12 stone at 5'9 so about 9 pounds to go (now I seem to be over my plateau!)
The difficult bit for me is not losing muscle but the fat has to go.

I'm on it just now, my diet is pretty much sorted, and getting 20k steps in a day. The steps has always been the best thing for me for weight loss.Good luck!
I'm contemplating doing a protein sparing modified fast, and upping the steps to 40k for a short period and see if that works as well as it is reported to. I intend to finally sort myself out once and for all. Kill or cure.

Most of my fitness will come when the fields are ready for metal detecting. Hours upon hours worth of walking without really thinking about it

I recommend going to 25k then 30k steps. 40k steps a day is a LOT and takes a long time. I can only manage it when i am on holiday when I am literally walking non-stop all day long.
A while back I set myself a challenge and did 30k steps a day for a month. Brilliant for weight loss but it can take over your life!
I'd done 10k before 8am this morning and will do another 10k on my walking pad in a bit as it's too hot outside now.
I think the most I’ve ever recorded in a day is 23k steps and that seemed like a lot! 40k is crazy, you’d have to be on a walking mat behind a standing desk at work to achieve that surely?! Perhaps an all day hike I suppose?
@Martynt74 I’m sure has done some insane ultra event which makes even 40,000 steps look like walking to the fridge and back.
I’m averaging 9,300 steps a day over the last 6 months. My daily active energy average according to Apple Watch is 1,031 kcal. Make of that what you will!

Checking my Garmin app it suggests 88,026 is my record from a 50 miler I did in the Peak District back in 2022.
To be fair. Even 10k steps is a challenge without a conscious effort. I’m generally desk based at work and today I’m at 12k but I’ve done a 5 mile run which accounts for a lot of that. Hitting 40k must be very time consuming. Especially if just walking.
