You need to find a sustainable 'diet'. Three meals a day is important, because only eating one meal will only lead to malnutrition and eventually weight gain.
Eat three meals a day (balanced meals), drink much water and cut back industrial sugar. I walk a lot and do some light home workouts a few times a week and I maintain my weight for years now.

if you are already skipping breakfast, you should make sure to have good meals for lunch and dinner

I PROMISE MOST OF THE TIME I DO, but the problem is im not really a lunch person/dont like to make my lunch, so ill do my work finish do chores and some days i eat a snakc maybe 2 days out of the week? and then ill have dinner a few hours later
I do typically eat 3 meals on a least 2 saturdays a month, bc my mom cooks breakfast, and every sunday I eat 2 + a light snack like carrots with a teeny tiny bit of chips bc theyre calorie dense

Quality over quantity; focus on eating natural foods and cutting out processed sugars. Create a habit of reading the ingredient list (the boring side as they call it) of products even if it's just to check how much carbs/protein/calories etc is in the stuff you consume and in time you will naturally be able to tell what is good for you and not just from looking at the back.

Don't fall for BS like keto, a healthy body is about consistency and there are no shortcuts. Practice discipline without pushing yourself too hard, if you are miserable all the time you'll burn yourself out - it is better to indulge yourself a little bit than to be too strict and later give up.

Habits, habits, habits! Habits are one of the most important things in all facets of life and they can take years to develop so it's very important to stay disciplined until you do. Just like a bad habit is hard to break, so is a good one but once you get there it'll become second nature and you won't need as much discipline anymore.

My helpful tips are purely for weight loss and based on my own experience.

If you get hungry very often and feel like no matter how much you eat you feel hungry, try to drink water instead of an snack. Dehydration and thirst can make you feel like you want to eat even when what you really have is dehydration and thirst. I gained significant amount of weight in 2018-2022 and one of my key ways to drop a lot of weight was this one.


I also recommend calorie counting. It will help you and your brain understand how much some food has calories and help you find a diet where you can still enjoy food but still get calorie deficit. start small and drop 200calories at a time, dont try to immediately drop lot of calories because you most likely cant do it. Its not only lack of self control but your brain and body will get used to you eating more than you should and it is very very difficult to completely switch your learned ways. Your brain can stop telling you when you are full and your stomach will stretch. Also any physical and mental health problems will make it harder. So give yourself some understanding and kindness and time. Do switches into your desired diet in steps. I personally had to drop 1000 calories of what food i eat and for me it was me dropping 100calories from what i eat every 2 weeks until i got used to eating less and then when it started being easier and my gravings had silenced enough i dropped 100calories every week.
I failed at first, many times and it was really hard. The key is to be understanding and kind towards yourself and learn to be happy about every calorie and kg you drop. Do not just look at all the weight you need to drop but make every step towards the goal to be a win. The feeling of you being proud of yourself is in itself treat way more delicious than food.

And do at least take walks or other exercise that you can do so your body wont burn your muscles away instead of the fat. Keep the goal in mind but be kind and understanding towards youself.

Consistency is the key but dont try to turn into a diet fitness professional guru overnight. That is not sustainable.

uran hopes this could help someone somewhere somehow
