I recently started Orgovyx. I was encouraged to take Calcium and Vitamin D. (I have read elsewhere that Vitamin K2 M7 guides the calcium to bone more so than to the cardio vascular system. Those on blood thinners should not take Vitamin K without talking with medical oncologist.) Strength exercise (resistance) helps mineralize bones.
STAMPEDE trial showed that metformin, a cheap drug, mitigates side effects of hormone deprivation therapy without affecting its therapeutic effect.

I think you are doing the right thing. Did your doctor tell you to take Vitamin D and Calcium when you started Orgovyx? I wish my doctor did because one of the side affects of taking Orgovyx as researched is causing bone density weak. And for me taking Orgovyx now for about 6 months, I have pain in my lower back and hips. Had an X-ray and MRI last month (March) and the results showed my bones getting lesser density. So, asked a friend who is a medical professional for advise and she told me to take Vitamin D3 + K2 and Calcium for bone strength.
