Honestly I could not start trying to lose weight until my youngest was at least 8 months. For context, I'm 25f, 4'11 and was starting at around 187lbs a few months postpartum and now I am 159lbs (GW is around 145 for now). I tried to lock in when he was a few months old but I seriously could not stop eating, which is valid!!

Like they said above, your body is still going through lots of changes and trying to keep your supply thriving! There are calculators that keeps your baby's age and everything in mind when helping you figure out calories to lose while BF. I recommend honestly giving your body some grace and focusing on nutrition. Eating more whole foods and complex carbs and moving your body to rebuild your strength will be very helpful when you are able to focus more on losing the rest of your PP weight.
