Ok, so I will admit your situation updates me at least a little towards more vigorous exercise being required.
I wrote this piece faster and more sloppily than I would usually endorse (it was for inkhaven, I probably should have noted at the start), but my central point is something more like “you should be thinking about what your actions imply about your environment rather than calories in calories out”.
In the particular case of Eliezer, I think the first steps towards improvement include increasing his calorie intake as a route to doing more exercise, because it seems like his implied environment is one where holding onto calories is heavily rewarded.
I would need to know more about your particular habits to understand what I would predict for your situation; the only reason I felt I could suggest anything for Eliezer was that I read through a detailed list of everything he’s tried.
