@Jib Yeah, I would reduce some saturated fat and compensate with a bit more carbs.
Once you lose some weight off consider a pull up frame (I have one) and try some pull ups but waaay waaay slow. This will widen your shoulders like nothing else, it will also make your torso leaner. Once practiced you lift up quickly then slower on the way down. Don't get one of those pull up bars that hook to a door frame, they are s**t.
Even body weight squats have their purpose and easy to do. Fleshlight's are safe as you cannot over-grip with one.
I've had an €18 door frame hook chinup bar for 2 years and have had no problems doing bodyweight pullups multiple times per week at 105kgs.
Other than that, your pullup advice is solid. The other key to widening yourself is side raises with dumbbell, band, cable, or machine (light weight, 20-40 reps, 5-8 sets).
Bodyweight squats are too light for most men to function optimally as a primary stength or size building movement. Unilateral movements such as walking lunges, stationary reverse lunges, step ups, split squats, rear foot elevated split squats, or stair climbs are the way to go when lacking heavy weight. Bodyweight squats are still useful for warmups and finishers.
