Programmes for over 40’s

Hi folks

i apologise if this has been asked a million times but I need help.

I’m a 42 year old male’ 6”2’ and weigh 18.5 stone. I’ve always had a big frame, well built but not hench. Over the last year I haven’t really been a regular at the gym but I still play soccer. In that time I’ve piled on a stone and a half, as a result of this I’m starting develop health issues due to my weight, I also feel that my mental health is taking a pounding and I may be suffering with depression because I feel so low about myself.

I’ve been back at the gym for a month now doing mostly weights but I feel like I’m just treading water.

I promise I’m not looking for a magic quick fix answer because it’s the new year and I’m thinking of the summer, I know there’s a lot of work to do, and I know it won’t be easy, I feel that I’m running out of time to get in to a shape I can be proud of.

so I just need some recommendations on training programs that people in their 40’s have tried and felt they had positive results from, I would like to lose weight but also build muscle.

any help would be massively appreciated

cheers
