People spend too much time looking for shortcuts, paying for weight loss apps, fancy fitness trackers/watches, nutritionists, &c.

The truth is that unless you have a medical condition it's 80% about food intake (and 20% about exercising if you want to build some muscles)

To eat less calories you have two options:

- eat a shitty western diet, which means you'll have kids sized meals and feel hungry 24/7

- eat mostly veggies/meat/simple carbs (skip anything you couldn't theoretically grow/make yourself, the most processed thing you should eat are things like pasta)

Consider food as fuel, you don't top up your car three times a day with rocket fuel (sugar), especially if it's not getting out of your garage, same goes for your body.
