It sounds like your issue is entirely based on diet brother

I will give you the biggest advice I give everyone, and if you follow it, it will make a world of difference.

No bread of any type, no flour of any type, no sugar that does not come from dairy or fruit of any type, no hydrogenated oils. The trick is to be more concerned with a products ingredients than it's nutrition panel.

And obviously brother you need to count your calories. You gotta be eating a lot of food to maintain that kind of weight. Keep a log of what you've been eating, and try to shave off 600-800 calories. Keep your protein high, carbs moderate, and make sure you eat a source of healthy fat 2-3 times a day out of your 5-6 daily meals.

Best of luck brother, ask any questions you have!
