Two things:
Hidden Jitsu -
Lift, Lift, Lift. Use a system to log your food. Do this with what you are currently eating i.e. the foods/amount that has made you over weight in the first place. After two weeks you should know what your daily average is. Start with a 20% deficit and adjust after 1 month if needed. Cardio is fine but try HIIT training. And again--LIFT. First month you might see 8-10lbs loss. After that try for 4-6 lbs. Most important is not weight loss but #'rs. Get a fabric tape measure and measure-chest, waist(at naval, fattest part of waist), mid thigh, (arms, calves) if you want. Measure monthly. Visualize- imagine waking up 11 months from now and being 30-40 lighter in fat. Keep the type of foods you eat the same- it's what you enjoy. Just go with a deficit. You will find a need to increase protein intake due to lifting. If you try to change too much in your life at one time you might cause failure. Slowly add better foods i.e. nutrients per calorie vs empty calories.

Dropping the weight also allows you to get proper form and focus on the main muscle you're working.
" I've noticed if I drop the weight a little bit from what I was doing before, and do slow negatives (4-5 sec) and explosive positives with some pausing on the last set, it makes me super sore in comparison to just doing fast positives and negatives with heavier weight."
The first part is correct though time on neg. can vary. On the second if you mean pushing the weight up in an explosive move AND bringing it down fast, that would be incorrect and could cause injury.
