Thanks, that's good enough. I have been going to weight loss for over 6 months but I'm stuck between 79 and 80kg. It's a bit difficult to add more weight lifting because I tended to hurt myself, so eat less is better.

Did you try slightly lower weight and higher reps? It is worth trying as an experiment. Current scientific literature says that 5-30 reps is the ideal range for gaining muscle mass. And, as you said, the relative heaviness of weights to the person makes a big difference for injury risk.

Add walking for 2h per day is the recommended I’ve seen.
