Dan, I used to compete in endurance sports (a few years ago). So while not being completely new to exercise, I do need to listen to my body and take it slow.  Which I am doing.  However, the last thing I want to be is "Skinny fat".  (And my weight loss is actually incredibly slow.)  At Thanksgiving I was at 255. I am now 238.
So far, on this journey I have learned a lot about how my body has changed since I last competed. However, that just makes me more determined to return to endurance sports and lifting for the fun of it.
FWIW, I'm a Meso-Endomorph.  I don't know if that will effect your advice, but just so that it's out there....
