A few extra photos would help, give us a look at the saw from the front, a look at how much cutting edge is left on the blade.
Your blade might not be worn out, sometimes they just need dressing because after a while diamonds get blunt, there's various tricks to dress a blade some as simple as running it through a piece of brick or old grinding wheel.
The reason we need a view from the front is that the thread that holds the blade on can be left handed, the nut always loosens the opposite to the turning direction of the shaft when it is running. pulley on the left it will be left hand thread, right it will be normal RH thread.
The arbor is the bit that holds the bearings that the shaft runs through, it looks to me like you will need to remove the arbor to get the blade off.

That blade looks like it has plenty of cutting left in it, close to new I would say.
For a start give it a run through an old brick and see if that helps.

Cutting an old brick did clean up the blade pretty well, and I have made several cuts with it now; seems to be doing pretty good. Thanks for the info!
