Late to all of this and didn't read some of the middle pages but ultimately:

You deserve to be treated better, even if you don't think you do. No one has the right to come out and address or talk about your body, how you look or what changes you're trying to make without permission.

Nothing wrong with being friend-zoned, but I expect the same level of honest and respectful communication with real friends. This doesn't sound like a misunderstanding as much as it sounds like a lack of respect, boundaries and the ability to communicate in a healthy manner.
