i feel like i'm getting inside a hole slowly

SpoilerTW: Numbers

i am a 21 year old male (198cm tall) who has gone from 130kg to 85kg in under a year. i've been overweight all my life up until now. i must say i am still not satisfied and feel like my belly is noticeable, have chubby arms and legs. when i started losing weight, i originally wanted to stop at 90kg, but the more i lose the further down i feel i have to go. i think i want to drop to 78kg (bmi 20) and stop, but i will not change as much as i want to with just 7kg more (a bit, but not fully). i'm getting scared the goalpost will keep going lower for me.

up to this point, i've been doing just cardio: 1 hour of incline treadmill a day (at 5.3kmh and 15 incline). i am into the "anorexic aesthetic" or so to say -- hollowness, taking little space, being dainty, ribs and bones showing, being spectral. it sounds corny but maybe people here relate. i look at pictures of other men with my bmi and height/weight parameters and feel bigger than them, perhaps because i'm noticeably flaccid and loose from losing too much weight + muscle mass. but for the life of me i cannot bring myself to lift weights. to sum up: do any of you have any physical advice you can provide me with? if not, when does this battle stop? i really just want to be content with my body lmao
