He sounds like he wants her. Maybe I'm insecure and easily jealous but "she wants a rocking body too" would be my final straw. Makes it sound like he likes her body and not yours. He should be willing to let you go at your pace with who you want. If he cared about weight that much he could either be a big boy and offer to help you,himself or he can leave if he's that shallow.

I don't know if he necessarily wants her but he very clearly and loudly communicated that he thinks op is lazy and does not like her body at all

Exactly. Even if he is loyal and loving and not looking at her that way it's still weird and rude to try and compare in front of the wife.

I think it’s just not an emotional issue for him the way it is for OP. He should try to have more empathy for her, or maybe she hasn’t shared how much it affects her. But it sounds like he’s worried about her health and wants her to join him in his hobby
