Well done. Looking at where you’re at, and having no idea how he has your workout plan structured, all chest work going forward would be incline or decline, with 75% incline variations. Incline dumbbell, incline flys, decline press to activate the maximum amount of muscle fiber, cable crossovers, and I’d add this exercise which I find highly beneficial at the 4:35 mark of below video.
I’d also add in old fashioned pullovers. The earlier you start then, the less side chest fat you’ll be dealing with eventually.

You also need to add a ton of shoulder work. Seated dumbbell press. Seated dumbbell lateral raises. Like myself, you also don’t really have a neck. I’m 5-11 with a 34 inch inseam. Give me a normal neck and I’d be 6’1. Trap work goes a long way with dudes like us. Couple set of shrugs and it will kind of pull your sloped shoulders back and improve posture.
You’re doing great. I just kind of look ahead to where I assume you want to go given how much work you’ve put in and I’m anticipating where your problems will lie. You’re a big guy naturally, so after maybe another 35lbs, my focus would be almost entirely on muscle retention while you continue to lose. New serious lifting is the rare time you can lose weight while adding a little muscle.
Excess skin in belly region is unavoidable from your starting point. I’d incorporate lunges and a bunch of other shit that sucks to do, but are highly beneficial for both metabolism and to stave off lower body loose skin.
Really well done overall. While you continue to be in a calorie deificit, working out hard and heavy is really hard, and you’ll often only get in a good set of each bodyoart. Better one good set that multiple shitty ones. Just hit every body part as hard as possible. Once you win your bets, abandon traditional cardio and let lifting hard be your cardio. No one wants to look like a marathon runner. Everyone wants to look like a 100m champion. Not that you’re in that stratosphere, but you get the idea.
Keep going.
