Seil, your lifestyle sounds at least three times as active as mine is. I generally walk about a full mile each day and then do like five minutes of weight lifting 2 or 3 times a week, and I don't feel the need to lose weight.
200 lbs is not necessarily bad if you fit most these criteria:
All flab areas are suspiciously as tough as muscle (i.e. it is muscle).
Your belly button is not the farthest part forward on your torso.
The last time you punched somebody you hit faster and harder than you expected.
You don't wear fat clothes (anything beyond XL in shirts, make your own judgment for pants),
And don't try to measure your BMI as that doesn't account for whether or not you're big-boned.
In short, you're probably overreacting, unless you're in wrestling and you have to lose like 5 pounds a week or something for the next match.
