Since of being active in the week, would focus on changing food plan gradually.
Write down what you are eating on a week day / weekend (on paper) and log it afterwards in the food plan. This way it's possible to see what your food preferences are, and to compare with the total calories. Is it under / close or over the total calories to eat?
Slowly incorporate changes, like when noticing eating plenty of cookies for example. Change a few cookies for a piece of fruit (bananas, apples..). Aim to have 50% vegetables at dinner and eating protein (yoghurt, lean meat such as chicken, fish, cheese, whole grains..). This ensures your body gets all nutritients it needs and makes feeling satisfied for longer.
Making smaller changes over time, so your body can adjust.
When eating protein, fruits, vegetables.. it leads to eating less calories overall but having all nutritients the body needs, so it's unlikely to ask for more food if eating 'bad food' such as pizza, french fries,.. cause these are nutritient lacking. While it's allowed to eat all food, in moderation try eating natural whole foods first.
When wanting some pizza, cake, piece of chocolat.. allow to have. Since eating the 'healthier' foods first, it's then possible to be satisfied with for example a few slices of pizza instead..
There's no good or bad foods actually, but have everything in moderation. Don't forbid a certain food, you'll eventually be craving so much for to at a certain point eating plenty of it 'cause of having restricted it, rather allow to eat the certain food with care.
Try listening to your body, when it's satisfied (not being hungry) try not eating more regardless of allowed to eat 'x hundred' calories more.
Never skip breakfast, when not hungry just eat a little bit. Eat breakfast within a hour of waking up. When the body doesn't get food since the previous meal since the day before and after the night, it's been not getting any food during this time, when not eating breakfast, it thinks there's a food shortage and can stop sending out hunger / appetite signals, not feeling much hungry the whole day.
The body can begin to hold onto any food / energy it gets this way, lowering metabolism, burning fat less optimally, starting to use muscles as energy to ensure survival..
Protein is also used to repair muscles,.. so weight loss is more likely to come from body fat rather than muscles..
Enjoy reaching your goals.
