I’m 6’1 and weigh 295-300. Back has healed for the most part but I am afraid to do anything like squats. I still have sciatic issues. I don’t know if I can touch my toes. I don’t eat terribly but I drink a lot of beer.

That’s more than just drinking beer. You’ve got diet issues. Start tracking calories. Look into intermittent fasting. Like someone else said, just get moving. At lunch, go walk a mile or two. Get on a basic lifting program, but watch loading your spine. You might want to consult with a trainer to get down your programming to avoid any further issues with your back.

I was 6'3" 295 a while back. Take your time and get it right.

I'm skeptical. Cut out beer. Give up alcohol for at minimum 2 weeks while you are starting.
Come join us in the keto mega-thread. It's easy as hell to do, and you will lose weight.
Start slow with walking 6 days a week. Run 3 of those days if you can. You don;t have to go fast, just get that heart rate up. Look at couch-2-5K.
That's how I did it.

If truly severely out of shape . . .
Probably by walking and some easy stretching to start.. along with some push away's from the table. Beer likely needs to become more of a treat and not an every day acquaintance. Might help to keep track of your vital statistics by letting the heart rate and blood pressure track your initial progress. Little baby steps leading to a life style change. Too many go for broke and never reach where they want to be.

I’m ten years post herniated disc. I herniated the disc because I was fat and my back was weak.
I now squat and dead lift and I am the strongest I’ve been in my life since basic training.
