To ask if anyone's had a big change in libido with better physical/mental health

Changed names as I know this may come across troll-y but has anyone gone through losing weight/ better mental health and suddenly found what i suspect is their libido?

I'm mid 30s and never had a sexual partner but all my adult life ive been overweight and suffering from anxiety and depression to the point I didn't leave the house unless medically necessary.

But ive started losing some weight, my antidepressants seem to be working better since I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and given a CPAP machine and I'm gradually starting to go out a little socially. But I find myself noticing people as more attractive and more sexual thoughts running in my head and to be honest I'm torn as somewhat it's fascinating as a novelty but also a bit concerning as its come out of nowhere and frustrating as although I've lost some weight i still have an absolute mountain to climb in terms of weight loss until id consider myself physically ready to have a relationship and then obviously the anxiety and depression.

So AIBU to ask if its happened to others?
