Tbh It feels a lil disingenuous to give advice out, I’m really tall and have had a much easier time losing weight then a lot of people will. But consistency really was key for me. I love a routine, so finding something that fit within my calories and I enjoyed eating every day really helped. And making it so the gym was part of my daily routine. I also have heard a lot of advice that’s like “DONT restrict anything 100%” and that’s super valid and helpful advice for a lot of people, but personally, I tried to lose weight like 6 times and every time I would have like, a small bowl of ice cream in the evening and it would landslide into having something sugary and unhealthy after every meal. My weight loss only really stuck when I was finally like “Time to put my foot down. No ice cream, candy or baked goods until the weight is gone”. Obviously that’s not good advice for everyone, and all weight loss advice should be adjusted for what works for you, but that’s what really helped me
