My cardiologist has been concerned about my weight too and urging exercise, but at the moment I have some "getting around" issues. Since my heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. are all doing fine at the moment, what he told me at my last visit was "I don't care if you're fat, as long as you're fit," and suggested some sitting exercises I can do to keep things moving. That works for me.
My primary physician has much the same philosophy. It's about your health, not, specifically, your weight.
Of course if there ARE health issues, then those need to be taken care of. :-)
