If you have the means, consider paying for a personal trainer.
Exercise is all about consistency over a long period of time, and there's a chance you just don't have the capacity (willpower/mental health/...) to do it on your own, and that's ok.
Some people will fall in love with some activity and naturally do it consistently. Others have the discipline to keep grinding. Some have something in between, but many have none of those. That might be you and it was certainly me.
