Being overweight in general is hard on the body. Even if it’s all muscle. Go on a hike with a heavy backpack. How does it feel? Tiring? Hard? Now imagine keeping that backpack 24/7. I used to lift in high school and college. Got pretty strong and heavy for my size but damn if a 20min walk didn’t leave me dead and drenched in sweat. These days I’m 10kg lighter, not a huge difference, but wow is life a lot easier. I’m also in better cardio shape (more running and hiit, less lifting) and that turns out to be way more useful day to day.
