First time trying to looksmax. 22, 5'8, 200 lbs. Rate me + Tips?

As it says in the title, I've never really cared about my appearance until recently. I'm aware 200 pounds is way overboard, so I've been trying to lose weight for about a week now.
I also have allergies, which often shows up as eczema (which right now is mostly on the sides of my mouth, under my mouth, and under one of my eyes). The acne scars don't help.
I'm aware about my canthal tilt and recessed chin.
Initially, I'd like to stick with softmaxxing, but I am more than open to hardmaxxing later down the line. I'd just like to ask the community for any tips regarding either soft or hardmaxxing.
