Hey all, i got in a car accident on march 28. sprained my c2-4 vertebrae, sprained some ribs and messed up my neck and jaw. i havent been able to workout since so i went from 216lbs to 198lbs and now i feel like shit

i guess i will try to lean out for summer. ive always been a bulky guy and never have tried to lean out. i eat quite healthy but i do have a small gut.
any tips on the leaning out process?
ps: my physiotherapist said that the only exercise i should be doing is walking

pps:
