For me, I decided to drop my body first, and then bulk up. I just wanted to get the fat off of me that I had on for years. Basically, it comes down to what you want to do first, and then move on to the other.

At my heaviest I was 287 lbs(I'm also 6'2"), and I'll tell ya, some cardio is gonna make a huge difference for you. First you'll need to determine your resting metabolic rate to get a grasp on the amount of calories you should be eating during the day. Maybe you should shoot for loosing 20-30 lbs first, then do a couple of mass cycles(eating more(quality)calories than you burn during the day, and lifting heavier weights for less reps )to put on some good solid muscle.
