Vbac & obesity

so

I’m waiting to see a dr that’s Vbac friendly but her head nurse when I met with her a few months ago said my weight will hinder me from being eligible. I’m not morbidly obese. I’m 5ft 8 and 229lbs. I went to the gym for three months and weight went down zero but I am leaner than I was before 🤷🏻‍♀️ has anyone been told the same or put on a diet while pregnant so you can try for a vbac?
