Losing weight is an amazing goal when it’s for health and not beauty standards. You shouldn’t aim to lose weight if you’re healthy or underweight, but if you are overweight, it’s definitely worth the attempt for better health and quality of life. 238 is objectively unhealthy, but doesn’t mean that you’re not beautiful - losing weight would improve so many parts of your life though. 120 is considered normal for certain heights, but id say 160 is more realistic, because you’ll gain muscle!
And I don’t think that advising against a goal that is for the betterment of someone’s health is a good thing to do. Sure, they don’t HAVE to do it, but it’s a great goal to have, especially because it will be beneficial for their mental and physical health. Living in comfort because you “don’t have to do” something, is only going to make your quality of life worse. Go out and make yourself a better person. That’s what life is about. Don’t tell people that they don’t have to.
