📝 AITAH for telling my boyfriend not everything is about him?

I, 25, male, and my boyfriend, 23, male, have been together for three years. I've been about 100 pounds overweight the entire time we've been together. I recently decided I want to get my health in order and lose the weight. I told my boyfriend this, expecting him to support my goal, but instead he said, "Why? You're already hot the way you are." I said, "That may be true, but I'm also 100 pounds overweight, so losing weight is going to happen. He replied, "Well I think you're sexy the way you are and shouldn't lose weight." I said, "Well not everything is about you and I need to prioritize my health." He said, "Ok" and has been acting distant since. My friends are split, some think I'm in the right, but others think I need to take his opinion into account because he's the one who has to look at me while we have sex. Am I the asshole here?
