Chest/Stomach soreness
I have had slight chest discomfort located on my sternum. The discomfort has also been in my stomach(almost like being overly full even when I hadn't eaten, that went away later in the day) and upper stomach(mostly when I deeply inhale) I have been working out in a variety of ways in the last few months. In mid-August I weighed roughly 250 lbs. This morning I was 219. Is this a normal exercise muscle soreness, or is it more likely a more serious health problem?

Since you are obese and on weight loss regimen. Sometimes this can result in acid reflux causing upper abdominal and chest discomfort (at times it can be burning sensation). As of now, nothing to worry about. Observe it for about 5 days
Next Steps
If it persists, it would be better to have one on one consultation with a physician.
