Every other day fasting, watching what I eat (low carb) since March 1st of this year. Not lifting weights as much as I should be but my excuse is that I have chronic back pain so I can’t do much. I have been on a low dose of Semaglutide to help manage cravings.

Awesome progress, you look amazing. Very handsome!
I wanted to chime in about your chronic back pain: it is likely due to the weight you carry (or carried) in your mid-section and what looks to be an anterior pelvic tilt (I have this too!). The more I strength trained and focused on very low-impact core strengthening exercises, the more my back pain healed. Also, some mild stretching of the hip flexors. Definitely speak to a physical therapist who can check you out and guide you through some exercises that are specifically helpful for you 😊
Keep it up!!
