My husband told me I need to loose weight

Today I had a hard conversation with husband about my weight. I used to be very fit and workout consistently when I was in college, when I started a full time job after graduation my energy levels dropped and I gained some weight. Today my husband told me that I was getting fat and that I needed to loose weight. I’ve been consistently going to the gym for a month at 5am to be able to loose some weight.

He literally told me he wants me to be “skinny”. And that he wasn’t as attracted to me anymore cause there was “too much to grab”.

I honestly felt pretty hurt about his comments. i want to understand where he is coming from and stay fit for myself, but at this point it seems like a demand from him....

What do you guys think?

*For reference I am 5’9 and weight 170lbs

***Update

First of all thank you to everyone for all the supportive words, I really appreciate you guys 😭

For those asking, my husband is very fit and has always been.

I am not happy with my weight right now, and I do want to loose weight, but hearing those comments from him yesterday hurt my confidence a lot....

Thank you again for everyone’s words ❤️
