Grizl or Hybrid?

I’m getting back into cycling to lose weight; currently 255 lbs at 5’10”. Last year, I wanted to get into gravel riding and found a great deal on a 2021 Canyon Grizl CF SL 6 for $1,000, so I picked it up. I didn’t ride it much until this past week, but I’ve done about 40 miles so far. It feels a bit aggressive, and I know it’s probably more bike than I need right now, but the price was hard to pass up.

Now I’m debating whether I should stick with the Grizl and get used to the position, or pick up a more comfortable fitness/hybrid bike like a Specialized Sirrus or Trek FX to lose some weight, ease back into riding, and then return to the Grizl. Long-term, I’d like to get into road cycling if that factors into the decision.
