As someone who waited way, way, way too long too lose weight, let me recommend that you review your situation with a doctor.
I've lost significant weight in my 50s and it's completely turned my health around. Cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, almost every indicator was dangerously of whack. I was on a boatload of medications, it was doing jack squat.
Now I get tested and everything is where it's supposed to be. I'm down to small maintenance doses for blood pressure and triglycerides, and I'm off the diabetes medical entirely.
I don't know if weight it a problem for you, but if it is: you can get it under control.
