Husband overweight

Husband is over weight he has massive double chin, chubby belly, moobs and tbh I don't fancy him at all, it's becoming a problem as I dont want to have sex with him as I'm not attracted to him. I have had an honest conversation and said I don't like it and would like him to join the gym and take care of him self. I cook from scratch and always do healthy meals but nothing is working, as he says he's to tired to do any working out. I go to the gym classes and work out couple of times a week and eat healthy so it's not like I don't try to stay healthy.

He'd be much better off getting his eating under control than thinking that doing a bit of exercise is going to be making a difference. If you're eating half a block of cheese as a snack in the middle of the night then no amount of exercise is going to help.
This isn't an office job issue, it's an over eating issue. Do you think he's over eating because he's depressed?

I have suggested the weight loss injections as I've heard that are affective and have quick results

The issue is you need to tackle the underlying issue. If you don’t, then he’s going to put the weight back on when he stops them.
