I’d focus on lowering your calories and losing weight.
Mid 40s, haven’t been working out, at that weight you would need to be I dunno 6’6” or higher to be healthy. As we get older should focus on getting the scale down. Adding strength and not necessarily size/muscle are key to longevity along with cardio/weight management

I would disagree that strength is more important than muscle mass as we get older. The more muscle mass you can retain the older you get the more functional you will be. Not to discount strength but I'll take muscle mass any day unless you are training for a strongman or power lifting meet.

Everything I’ve read/heard says that negative health outcomes are associated with waist sizes greater than 38 and especially 40 inches.
I’m 43, 6’, 205 with a measured 36” waist at navel, and I definitely feel healthier now than when I weighed 175 with basically the same waist.
My point is I don’t think you can go around flatly saying that we need to be lighter as we get older. Do we need to avoid a huge belly and fat covering everything? Sure. But we don’t need to be skinny.
