When to start dating again? Wait till healthy lifestyle and body shape is attained?

I have started working quite late in my life. Till last year, I was in grad school and was quite occupied with research and publishing stuffs. Dating was not a priority and the last proper date I have been to was in 2018.

Now that I have a decent employment, I would like to attend to other aspects of my life a.k.a relationships. However, I have a problem. I have become quite out of shape over the past few years, and I feel self-conscious about my body.

In 2 years, I have gained 10 Kgs  So, I don't feel attractive or confident about myself.

So, is there a point to start dating or spend 7-8 months getting back in decent shape before getting into dating again?
