There are some meds that can sometimes help with weight loss. I'm not exactly recommending that but I do think it might be helpfull to talk to a GP type doc &/or psychiatrist about your problems with losing weight. Us autistics do tend to be on various psych meds & some psych meds can contribute to weight gain while others can sometimes help with weight loss. Plus various autistic mental issues & comorbids can sometimes contribute to weight gain & better addressing those issues might help with weight loss.

Without knowing anything about your dad or his advice, my suggestion was 165 as a good weight for that height.

I think reducing calories and follow the diet advice of auntblabby above in the thread is the solution. Physical exercise is good for the health but it is extremeley hard if not impossible to lose weight that way.

Exercise can increase metabolism but you're right, ultimately what's needed is a caloric deficit.
