Get in the gym. Be consistent. Get stronger. Be consistent. Continue to get stronger. Come back in 10 years.

This ^^^^ and NOT THIS :

Do you lift? If not, START.

First, I hope you get to the bottom of the DHEA "issue" and that it is a very minor issue.

However, relative to the quoted part above. It seems that you are VASTLY underestimating the time and...

Yea. My "standard" purchase is either Extreme Chocolate or Milk Chocolate.

I'll let other, more knowledgeable posters address the numbers, but that ^^^ is a fairly humorous statement. No effort is going to result in no impact/payoff. You likely struggle to put on muscle...

This ^^^. OP, most guys will have a 'larger-looking' forearm than bicep when held from the side like that.

FULL body workout, as Ghawk21 suggested. Good luck.

Peanut butter, pizza, cheeseburgers, milk, milkshakes, ice cream, cheese, nuts, dried fruit...

HOWEVER, to answer...

So, bench press is OUT since it's a compound lift?

OP, ignore this ^^^^.

Consistently at fewer calories than you burn.
Lift weights to preserve and even build some muscle as you lose fat. (If your goal is to lose FAT and not just 'weight', then...

OP, please forgive me if I'm misreading this (and some of your previous posts)...

You don't like your body shape/condition now. You can lose fat and/or add some muscle. BUT, you seem (to me) hell...

This ^^^^^.

Still the same as always. Age doesn't override it.

You presumably based your TDEE activity level INCLUDING your exercise. So you are 'counting' it there. Why would you count it AGAIN? ;-)

OP, this picture you posted, presumably of yourself (and not some random girl) in October https://forum.bodybuilding.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9265621&d=1601681546 shows lots of body fat and...
