A friend suggested I should aim for 500 lbs since I'm currently 490 lbs, but I'm concerned about weight and health problems even at 490 lbs. I'm also considering a weight loss journey at my current weight. What are your thoughts

That's a really personal question, and one that's hard to give a solid response to without knowing the full context. Have you experienced any health concerns or do any serious health problems run in your family that obesity could make worse? And do you think the joy of gaining weight is greater than those potential risks?
I'm not saying this to dissuade you, it's just important to listen to your body in these situations. If you decide to continue gaining weight you can try to mitigate potential risks like trying to stay relatively active and taking the more difficult route of eating healthier foods in large quantities rather than mostly junk food in order to gain weight.

I've been wanting to lose weight I've just not been sure if I should. As far for health concerns none as of yet luckily but my father's side of the family has had a history of asthma but I haven't inherited it.
If you want to lose weight, lose weight. You don't need our permission.
That said, a feeder that pushes you to keep gaining when you don't want to gain is a shitty feeder.
