Obesity

Since my heart operation a year ago last March I weigh a lot less then I have in a while. As a matter of fact at the moment I am at my college weight when I was more athletically active though I do not quite have the chest to waist ratio I had in college. I have been keeping my weight stable for the last year and I am hitting the gym three times a week. Basicly I am doing a more advanced version of the workout from my cardio rehab. In all fairness, I did put on 5 lbs during my initial cardio rehab, mostly returning some of my muscle I lost during mt convalescence. Anyway I am floating right around 190 lbs at 5’8” with a muscular build. . No, I don’t have a six pack but at 63 I am in fairly good shape. I have also been decreasing the various medications I have been taking as I have been healing from the heart operation. Yet my primary care provider referred to me as obese while other medical professionals say I am doing fine.Just for your information, I am also being extremely careful with my diet. I am starting to wonder if I am really doing that badly. And no, I am not looking for suggestions as I am working with a team now along with my own nutritional background. I am more looking for discussion.
