Am I being selfish to not lose weight for my husband?

My husband keeps saying that 'we' need to lose weight to become attracted to each other again to save our relationship. For the record I have never once said I don't find him attractive. I still do but apparently he doesn't find me attractive enough to initiate sex. He said he can't live in a sexless marriage. I am a UK size 18 and pretty sure plenty of men would have sex with me looking like I do. We have a 4 year old daughter and I do most of the looking after so I don't find it easy to find time to look after myself. Am I being selfish by not losing weight?

This is one of the more bizarre threads I’ve seen on MN. Reminds me of those online dating profiles where men say “I like to take good care of myself physically and expect my partner to do the same”. Of course, Ken.
