Welcome. It sounds like you are off to a good start. Keep going at your pace & you'll find yourself in a really good place a few months from now. I've dropped 30 lbs by watching what I eat and running since September 2015.
I've had one of my best runs in the rain. Also, view your time off as a chosen rest period. Mentally and physically, it helps to ramp down the distance a bit every 4 to 8 weeks, for one week. I came back from a 8 km stronger and a lot faster.
