50ish pound loss in 5 months

I don't have an exact number because my original scale broke, and my new replacement was weighing 5-8 pounds heavier. I've lost 50ish pounds in the 5 months since my son was born. I have about 15 more pounds to lose, and I'd like to build some muscle/definition, but with a new baby, my loss has been limited to diet alone for the time being. I've had 4 babies in exactly 5 years.

This first picture is at one in the morning the day I had my son, at about 191-194 ish pounds:
