Good morning gentlemen and all folks ! I’m 57 and just lost 35 lbs so I’m down to 200 lbs ! But want to get down to 190 and lose more of my love handles and stomach girth ! But I’m always sleepy and tired and fatigued: a lot of pain in joints and muscles

What are you eating and how are you training?
Fatigued…are you getting enough sleep, at least 7 hours?
Pain in joints…diet? Are you training?
is your training too explosive, too heavy or sloppy form, too much training
Are you running?
too many questions
Congratulations on your weight loss, thats commendable
If you’ve been dieting for long enough to lose 35lbs it’s no surprise you’re feeling tired and unable to add muscle. Some people here may disagree but I believe you should actually go the other way for a bit even it sounds counter-intuitive. Eat just slightly above maintainance for a month or two, focus on getting stronger, work on increasing that metabolism, and thrive on all that extra energy.
If you nail your nutrition and training, you may actually continue to look leaner whilst doing this. When the gains stop coming so easily and you start to feel like your estimated maintainance sounds like a good place to cut from again, switch it up and lose that last 10lbs.
It’s perfectly normal to feel like this after losing 35lbs. Bury yourself even more by grinding out the last 10lbs, or switch directions for a short period to re-invigorate your body for the final stretch.
I agree with the caveat that we don’t have any solid info from the OP.
A diet break is def beneficial. Even having one high day or two a week will do wonders.

True very light meals to try and get to 190 lbs. protein shakes, sandwiches either keto bread and turkey, eggs.
Lots of ice cream at night

Need to cut out the ice cream - add a better diet regimen - still on Semaglutide so not really hungry - lots of cardio and now incorporating more weights and resistance training

Your not giving much to go on here.
Start by listing what your training looks like and what you eat daily.
My gut reaction based off some of your comments is that you are low carb?
This seems to indicate that you’re not getting enough protein and calories during the day to feel satiated, so night-time binge eating is happening.
Also since you mentioned keto bread, and are wanting to lose fat, I assume you are going low fat.
This tracks.

Could that be the issue then?
Yeah! I think you hit it right on the head, you need a “better” diet.
Made up of “better” foods. Or foods that contain more nutrients.
It looks like your restricted diet is low on a lot of the “Stuff” like salt, protein, healthy fats and vitamins that keep you feeling good and energetic.
To improve your diet, what sounds like a good strategy?
Supplementing your current diet with stuff like Superfood Powdered fruits/vegetables, electrolyte supplements, fish oil, B-vitamins, etc.
Or working on improving food quality by getting more red meat, heavily salting your eggs and using olive oil and eating some oranges.

No idea. I have just seen a lot of talk about it online.
So a dairy product? . . . . like ice cream?
Maybe there is a connection.
