So 25%, which is well above the 15% effect I’ve seen, but you could just be an outlier. Also possible that such research suffers from self reporting problems, and many who claim they’ve made lifestyle changes are not reliable in those self reports. Fwiw, my experience is similar to yours. Lifestyle changes (weight loss moreso than diet) improved my “bad” cholesterol and glucose.

We are certainly each unique medically speaking, but I'd still think that the single biggest change for the better you can make in your health is to try and kick the obesity. While BMI might be far from a perfect measure, I'd still like to get to at least the top end of the normal range.
