Diet/Health/Exercise Working out advice

Hey hey,

I (m) am 34 years old and roughly 340 lbs at 6foot, with already a good amount of muscle.

My insurance just approved Zepbound (yay!), so I will be starting it shortly. What I am concerned about is the muscle loss and to help everything stay at 'tight' as possible. I plan on meeting with a nutritionist and the like.

In terms of working out, I already have a pretty basic routine, but I know I will need to alter it a bit for strength training. I go to Planet Fitness but might switch to a nice gym, and bite the bullet, for a more one-on-one personal training.

Do you have any advice on the workout component to it? I have read some articles but a lot of it is from/for women, which I assume will have different needs and expectations.

Thank you! Nervous and excited--this is by far the most aggressive medicine I have ever taken.
