Also I should mention I've been meditating steadily every evening for the past 3 years, I am currently on a streak of 610 days according to my app. It's a great way to improve mental focus during the day and also to unwind in the evening.
Otherwise I'm doing fine, I'm averaging 500 to 700 calories less consumed than I normally would so some weight loss should come even with all my challenging conditions making it difficult. I do struggle with my energy level, I'm sleeping nights of 10 hours or more and am still tired. No that's not from sleeping too much, it's fatigue from chronic illness. Not much can be done about that, doctors have no solution either. Fatigue is hard to deal with, it makes me unable to do a lot of things I want to do.
I'm glad you're doing well with calorie consumption, so as you say weight loss should come despite your difficult conditions.
On the other hand, I'm sorry that your tiredness is preventing you from doing the things you want to do. I won't even venture any advice because I don't know anything about it, I just hope that there will be a time when this condition will give you some respite.
I have never done meditation, although I am curious about it, but I know that it has lots of beneficial effects. I don't know how constant I would be in doing it because at a certain point in the evening I automatically collapse on the sofa no matter what kind of day I've had...I wouldn't be a good meditator
