So I've been out of the game a couple of years, I did a bit of calisthenics but I'm too fat now to go at that and also I was never flexible which brought a bit of a wall to that path.

I've about 10kg put on past my resting happy weight and 13-15kg past my prime. I'm looking to drop weight first and foremost and maybe build stamina.

I have my own barriers tl push through, hoping this restart takes but mostly I now have to be self motivated because a change in location means no classes only gym access.

So... Could anyone provide a quick 45-60 minute routine to get me started. I'm 183cm and 100kg.

Both are important. If you only eat less without working out, you'll also lose muscle not just fat.

Sorry you're right, you definitely need both to lose weight. I'm just emphasizing, if you already have a decent workout routine (ie calisthenics a couple times a week like OP), then in my experience, it's much easier to lose weight than work it off through exercise.

I'll frame it this way as well. People can be 50+lbs overweight (me) and still go to the gym regularly. On the flip, I find it much less common that people are obese and also have a healthy diet and food relationship.
