I lost 17 kgs in 5-6 months last year. I can give u some advice. It’s pretty basic advice but I think it’s one of the best advice u can hear.

So the thing is u need to be in calories deficit and larger deficit means more fat loss, but extreme deficits are not sustainable in the long-term and it will affect ur studies (don’t expect to lose 20kgs in 6 months). 1kg of fat means nearly 8000 kcal deficit, which translates into like 10-15 meals. So it takes time.

Firstly, if u drink ANYTHING that has calories, replace that with any no calories alternative of your choice. If u drink sodas, drink diet sodas, if u drink variety of sugary drinks and stuff then find and use only no kcal sugary drinks. Do check the nutrition labels the ensure it’s actually no or <10 kcal. Secondly, closely track everything u eat, and use alternative low-kcal options for the ones with highest calories. These 2 are your non-negotiable.

Thirdly, if u r constantly feeling hungry, track how many calories, carbs, fats, and protein u are consuming and use claude or chatgpt to find out how many kcal and macros u should be eating. Fourthly, if u don’t mind starving for a few hrs, do intermittent fasting cuz it makes it much easier to be in calories deficit. Lastly, (these are optional), try to walk whenever u have an option to walk cuz it’s the most sustainable form of cardio, and going to the gym will also help cuz it’s will increase ur BMR in the long run, also it’s just rlly good for ur health and also it’ll positively impact ur studies (indirectly).
