I don't carry but I do wear gloves which I then chuck in the wash.
Tbh some of that weight drop is because of muscle loss but what do you do.
Some hard bodyweight work for your legs and upper body along w/adequate nutrition will help you build muscle without a gym, nevermind lose it!
Granted it takes a lot of the proper effort and is usually excrutiating for one unfamiliar with that type of training to get through, but it can work. Hell, even doing a lot of brief period/high-volume work just a little at a time will add up over a week's time, a month's time, etc.
True, hard HIIT sprints/jog (I mean completely balls-out sprinting) alone a few times per week would be enough for your quads. Years ago when I used to do it, I would have to structure leg days around my HIIT work because they'd be just as sore from that! I've been afraid to get into doing that for quite a while, haha.
If you're really interested I'd be happy to come up w/some ideas for everything else, but leg-wise here are some ideas that most wouldn't think of. I make most of these staples in my routines with and without weight anyway, and they can be done anywhere.
"Real", old-school sissy squats & glute-ham raises are 2 movements which alone would take care of your legs. Not the modern/modified versions, although those can be done if your experience level justifies...as a way to help learn the movement if necessary and build up to the "real way" which does indeed make a big difference. Couple those w/long distance lunge variations, single-leg pistol squats, skater squats, hamstring bridges, inverted bench leg extensions (I can find an example if you're interested), etc. Focusing on time under tension (rep speed, tension:time ratio) can be magical for those who never really worry about it, too.
