I could still do without the knee pain though.

Do leg stretches every day. Most knee pain is associated with certain muscles overpowering others in rest state. Stretch them out to reset that balance. It's worked wonders for me, started seeing results in ~2weeks.

Any specific stretches you can recommend?

My knees have been weak compared to the surrounding muscles all my life, and now that I'm in my 40s and overweight, that's really taking its toll lol

I usually do quad stretches, forward bend, downward dog, childs pose, pretzel, and figure 4. I think the figure 4 has had the largest impact loosening up the glute to knee connection.
