Also, this morning my body weight was 88,9 kg, so I can finally say I am below 90 kg body weight.
That also means I've lost over 35 kg since I started lifting. I'm pleased with that.

That’s incredible progress!

Thank you! The plan now is to try to figure out how much good food I can eat while still staying under 90 kg. And to keep lifting, of course.
