    Sorry to hear about the stroke. Remember that exercise is not necessary in weight loss. Simply eat fewer calories than necessary to maintain your weight. Use the MFP calculator to determine those numbers and start tracking. Good luck to you.

    Swimming?

    Resistance bands can be used seated, and you can get cycle peddles that you can use in your armchair, if movement is restricted.

    Have you asked a physiotherapist?
