I give you a lot of credit for losing weight and trying to better yourself. However you did this in a very short time and you have to be careful about exercising too soon to quickly. Concerning your doctor I would get a second opinion

Xrays do not show much more than the bone structure and gives an indication of cartilage presence in the knee. Other injuries may be present that can only be seen on MRI. A thorough knee examination should provide some insight to the cause of symptoms also. If symptoms persist, obtain another opinion.
