Fat Strong guy to Fit Strong guy- Healthy weight to maintain?

Thank you MFP members, your thoughts and insight have been invaluable to my success!

After years of weightlifting and poor diet, I broke my leg. By January of 2019 at 34yrs and 5-11, I found myself ballooned to 265lbs. A subsequent health scare rattled me to a point that a change was necessary.

I set a rough goal of 220lbs, and joined MFP.

As of March 2019, my weight is 231.4lbs.

Those 30lbs were lost in my kitchen. Specifically intermittent fasting (18-6ish), low carb and low sugar diet. Nothing crazy, basically a relatively normal clean diet and skipping breakfast.
Dropped the heavy weights for the moment with boxing & HIIT 6x per week.


Now, quickly approaching my initial 220lb goal, I am wondering what a healthy weight for me really is.

Ten years ago, I would have abdominal definition at 210lbs. I am cautious to label myself as a big guy, since I am not particularly tall and most folks think they are big guys until they loose some weight.
But after college sports and years of weightlifting, I am still very muscular underneath it all. Looking at a BMI chart, I will probably have great abs before moving out of the obese section.

My question is what considerations should one look at when determining the point to level out during weight loss?

Are there any folks with similar physiques that could lend there collective wisdom?

Myself at miserable 265lbs.
