Blood pressure: Over some years now the ideal blood pressure has gone down . We now think that almost anyone should be a able to achieve a blood pressure of 120/80 or even lower, say , 115/75. This is with or without medication. It should be possible at your age with a lot of work. Your weight is a substantial obstacle. Good luck.
