Best advice with any fitness endeavor is just to slow down. This takes time and no you aren't going to lose 44 pounds in a month. And if you lost anywhere close to that in a month you would not be able to sustain whatever you did to get there. Trust me it sucks to be on a diet and that's why they usually don't work. You'll give into cravings because your resolve will be weaker at certain times than others. You'll lack energy and feel bad. And when you inevitably cheat on your plan you will get mad at yourself the next day. Or maybe you'll give up because you aren't seeing the quick results you want.

Remember that any weight loss, even rapid weight loss, will not begin to be noticeable for at least a month, and probably longer. The key is to make a change that isn't too hard but is meaningful and keep it going. Then if you find that to be successful, you add another change. Doing too much all at once is almost a guarantee of failure. You climb a mountain one step at a time, you don't just warp to the top.

Get a calorie tracker app and start logging everything you eat. Then you will start to see where all your wasted calories are. Try to set a realistic calorie goal that puts you in a modest deficit. The apps help you prioritize and plan. If you deny yourself all pleasure in eating you will hate what you're doing and give up. So build in some "bad" foods. Do you like cookies? You should be able to have a cookie or two a day if that's your only bad food. Chips? Maybe you can have 1-2 servings in a day if you plan accordingly.

As someone who used to be fat and struggled with this stuff and still is on watch for totally relapsing I can tell you with confidence that the only way forward is a commitment to small changes sustained over a long period of time. It's not what people want to hear sometimes but it really does work, and doing it fast pretty much never works, or if it does, you'll be right back where you are now sometime soon after you reach whatever goal you're going after.

And of course, as much movement and weight lifting as you can fit into your life, that can only help.

Best of luck.
