New Mom & Baby Weight

Hi everyone! I'm Alayna, call me Layny I'm a 27 year old first time mom to a beautiful 6 week old boy. Before getting pregnant, I weighed 146 lbs. I was super athletic, lifting weights and doing yoga daily. During the pregnancy, I was sick then got a minor injury in a car accident thanks to a drunk driver. All this made it so I couldn't do more than go for short walks for the past 6+ months. The day I gave birth, I weighed in at 190 lbs. After birth and breastfeeding, I'm now down to 172 lbs. Now that I'm 6 weeks post partum, I can get back to working out! My goals are to reach 150 lbs by July, start working out daily for a minimum total of 30 min, and set up a clean diet about 70/30. I know that it's going to be a challenge, especially with a newborn taking up most of my time, but I'm lucky I'm now a stay at home mom. Hopefully that will help me more easily create a routine for keeping on track.
Any other moms out there with some advice on getting that before baby body back?
