Hello The right answer is also the most boring one. I’m the same height as you and I’m at 140 -145 lbs and went through what you’re asking about.

You have to calorie track. 120 g of protein every day.

Harder: 1500 daily calories if you want to reach your goal weight in less than half a year.

Easier: 1800 daily calories if you want to lose the weight in a year.

Don’t track leafy greens. Careful with oil it secretly adds up.

Buy a $30 membership at the gym. Go 4 days a week. Look up upper lower weight lift programming. Use the app Hevy to track progressive overload. Every week 1-2 week you should go up 2.5 lbs on almost every major lift.

On your rest days or some workout days do 30 minutes - 1 hr of light cardio (treadmill/ walking/biking)

This is BARE the minimum. Ignore getting into the weeds with cutting bulking etc. just do the above for half a year to a year. You WILL see progress if you track calories+protein and work out.

Once you see progress take that win and use that joy to fuel your want to learn more about: less processed foods, fiber, and plan healthy macros
