Honestly, eat a balanced diet at a deficit to your bmr plus activity - no wild diet necessary; if you’re doing full vegan it’s a bit harder but vegetarian, shouldn’t be too bad - varied diet, minimize sugar, alcohol, processed foods. Complex carbs (lentils, beans, etc) are your friend, as are eggs / egg whites (assuming no vegan). Just eat a reasonable, unprocessed diet and do a ton of cardio. Drink water and try to not eat too late.

Yeah, typically it’s a measurement issue. There might be small optimization that be had with the breakdown, but usually when people don’t see a diff, it’s measurement.

Are you capturing everything? Even without weight it should be pretty easy to get in an ok range.

Have you tried a bmr or macro calculator? That will give you a calorie start, then back into what you need for a slight deficit.

Most people underestimate what they consume and overestimate what they burn.

Measure. Weigh. Prep your own food. Once you get the precision down you won’t need to, but, for example, a tbs of peanut butter is really small and ~100 calories. Most people grab a spoonful which is more like 200+ calories. Small misses like this add up over time.

Cut bites, tastes, licks, etc. it all ads up! I’ve seen people identify 2-400 calories a day with this alone.
