overweight?

Hi i'm new to this forum but have suffered with asthma now for 16 yrs now i'm now 32 .

I'm very active and never let asthma control me but as over the years i have gained weight .

I still play football 3 times a week and i'm on my feet and on the go at work all week but as of late i have been suffering with chest infections and attacks which have taken me to hospital .

But now my boss at work says i need to lose weight which would help but when i have seen my nurse or doctor they have never ever said a thing about my weight i thought it was very rude of him to say that . Has anyone one else had anything like this
