Long Covid is tough going - good luck and hopefully this will help too.

Totally the place for this!
Would also suggest the Strength training and running threads to go for thoughts and advice.
I'm also one for getting a gym membership - I find I train more and better at a gym but find one which is going to work for you eg has the right equipment, fits within your daily routine and my personal belief isn't so cheap that you're able to not feel bad if you don't go!

I'm not totally sure if this is the right place to be posting this. Apologies if not.
Over the last 2 years my body has changed a lot. I have had long covid for the majority of this time, had some massive changes to my life, a lot of stress and I probably haven't looked after myself as much as I should have as a result. I have lost muscle mass and replaced it with some podge.
I really hope I'm through the worst of all of the above so I'm ready to get back on track.
I don't especially want to lose any weight but I'd like to get my body fat down to ~16% and increase my muscle mass and bone mass if possible. I'm 36 and I am mindful that I'm at the age when my metabolism is slowing and when I should be looking ahead to ageing well/healthily.
I bought some smart scales last night because I find data massively motivating. Weighted myself this morning and we're off. I'll weigh once a week on a Monday from now on
Plan is to eat well, cut out alcohol, and combine cycling/running with resistance/strength training (initially from home and probably in the gym from a few months time)
I did a 20min core workout this morning and walked for an hour on my commute.
Feeling excited to make some positive changes!
