A plea from advise from someone with health problems to people who workout at home. Please read if you have some time

Hey, this post might be a little long and I want to apologize for that in advance.

Last year I found out I have type 2 diabetes and it is reversible up to 35 but requires a lot of work. I was 327 pounds and devastated but I tried my best to eat healthier and run on the treadmill I have 5 times a week.

I went to the doctor a week ago and I was 268 pounds and my diabetes has went from A1C of over 10 to 7.2, getting real close to the 6.5 goal. But I also found out that I am extremely hyperthyroid which is why I have occasional heart pain and other symptoms. The doctor wants me to take medicine which will destroy my metabolism and based on studies online makes men gain around 10% of their body weight, so around 30 pounds for me, during the time the body is resetting. I am terrified of gaining this weight back so I emptied my savings on some indoor workout stuff like sets of dumb bells from 5 pounds to 60 pounds and the "Everyday Essentials Home Gym System Workout Station" weight machine from Walmart to go along with my treadmill and dumbbells.

I searched the internet for days trying to figure out a routine for working out I can follow weekly but the vast amount weightlifting opinions out there are confusing me. I want to beg for help from people who work out at home on a basic routine they would use everyday. I don't want to bother anyone too much so I can google what kind of exercises to train those body parts with stuff I have but does anyone have a weekly routine that they like that they can recommend. I am planning on working out more often to try to fight this medication and I want to not only not gain weight but also lose weight if possible in the next 6 months my body will reset my thyroid. Thank you in advance to anyone kind enough to read it this far, I know this was long and I truly appreciate you and anyone who gives advice as well <3

ps. I just realized while posting that the weight doesn't mean as much without the height but I am 6 foot and 4 and a half inches. Thank you again to anyone kind enough to read this <3
