Dealing with "jealous" spouse

I have been married for almost 19 years. It is pretty much a normal marriage .. get busy with life and raising 3 teenage sons. Nothing special or unusual about us, I would say. Well, since starting my weight loss 8 months ago and now having lost 130 lbs, my husband seems to be jealous of everything. He constantly says something about me going to workout everyday. Said I am getting conceited/stuck on myself for buying a full-length mirror for our bathroom. Yesterday I went and walked my 2 miles and then was going to the gym to sit in the sauna ... he told me I had workout enough and just needed to go home. I had enough and told him if I want to go workout ... that is what I am going to do. Everywhere I go he makes comments that I must have a boyfriend there ... "going to see your boyfriend" or "are you looking for a boyfriend?" ... ecspecially if I am all cleaned up with makeup on and my hair fixed ... vs how I usually have during the week ... so it is different and he thinks I am looking for someone. How should I deal with this??? It is getting really old!
