I have been heavy all my life. Geneticly I am large but I also have a monky on my back. I like to eat and I eat out of bordome. But even if I did not. I will never be skinny. There is no going back once you are heavy. You can lose wight and be healthy, but but your not going to get to that goal of 6,1 170 male adonis. When you are large things chang to support the wight bones get bigger muscle builds up and so on.
Nothing is impossible. The problem is, you sound like you've convinced yourself of that. If you watch what you eat, exercise every day and burn more calories that you take in, then it will happen. All it takes is true dedication, that's the hard part.

I ride my exercise bike every morning for half an hour and burn 400 calories on it. Then I go and do a 1 hour weight training work out on my home gym and afterwards feel so energised it's unbelievable. Yes the muscles burn, and half way through it I still need to motivate myself to keep going, but 10 minutes after I'm done I feel spectacular. lol I sound like an infomercial.

Anyways, I'd suggest that everyone try it (you don't have to do quite what I suggested above..I worked up to that point) for a month. If you all don't drop at least 15 pounds, then either I'm lying or you were lying to yourself about your dedication.
