Hi I've started my weight loss journey November 2018 and havent really gone anywhere since. For the first 2 months, I've lost 20lbs, but I've gained 7lbs since. I have stopped working out but still continued to not include rice in my meal. I've lost energy to workout because my day is quite tedious. I go to the market around 5am in the morning every 2-3 days, then leave at 10 am for school work (thesis) and come back at around 10 pm (traffic is really bad) by the time I go to sleep, I am already too tired. I have to also work to worry about, since I have to study a programming language and then create an app when I've learned all that I need to. [time crunch] So far there is really not much time for me to workout and even when there is time, I dont really have the energy to do so. I do some "boy's work" at home as well (carpentry, carrying heavy stuff, fixing things) and run errands when there is time that drains my energy.

I've stopped losing weight and have maintained a weight of 187 lbs. I would like to know what I can do to fix my problem. I've said before that any workout is better than no workout but frankly, I cant do anymore pushups as it leaves me sore the next day and it's a bad shape to be in when Im carrying heavy things. I do try to lessen my food, but I've returned to eating bread as of two months ago.

I don't know what I can do to fix this. I've cut off sugar from my food as much as I can and only drink carbonated drinks that have no sugar in it ( coke zero) if I were outside and that was the meal I can afford.

What do I do?

Tl;DR: Hit a slump in my weightloss journey, too much responsibilities to juggle to bother working out.

Update: went on a few months of depression and my weight became 210 lbs. I eventually got out of that bad place in my head and started dieting again. I havent worked out but Im currently at 182 lbs.
