I think you should spend your money on a respectable in-person personal trainer who will help you meal prep and exercise with you daily. You need to find someone who will force you to be consistent with your efforts, whether that involves exercise or diet. I certainly don’t think you need to spend $100K, but if you have the money, find someone who will help guide you through the hard work you’re already willing to try.

This -- Find someone reputable and meet them 4x/week--make meetings obligatory.

Have them help you with your diet and your workouts.

Separately, find someone to work out with regularly. Join a class you like (e.g., boxing, yoga) that you like and keep going--be a part of a community so you'll want to go more.

Good luck!
