Cereal is as carbs as bread. Cut carbs but eat more protein and start intermittent fasting - NO BREADS - you have cravings after them, no pasta, rice (including brown) just proteins and non starchy vegetables. I have lost in it 24 kg a year ago and keep loosing weight. And you cannot outsport a bad diet. Diet is 80% diet is for life. anyway i have experienced change of tastes i dont like the food i used to eat - so no smoked meats, hams etc no tomato juice and few other funny things. I do sport now but i started when i was slim after loosing weight under superviso of coach.

Biggest problem is all carbohydrates (sugars) which we eat not realising that this is sugar (bread, pasta, rice etc) plus mixing high sugar and high fat.
You have slim people on high sugar diet eating low fat (Japan, Korea , China)
You have slim people on High fat low sugar diet - Eskimo
You have people eating proportional balanced foods - like italian french german etc - and it was OK when folks were poor - nw they eat too much -and gettng fat
Then you have concept of eating what i want - today chinese, tomorrow italian, yesterday indian - different diets different proportions - you cannot control as you have no idea what nutritients are in them as they are out of your cultural background. If you kept into your own traditions you would eat rich one day and fast another - as it was in old times.

YES loosing weight is 80% DIET. You cannot outsport dieting.
However, you need to change your lifestyle with it, you need to find suitable diet which you will follow to the end of your life and not come back to your old habits. It's easy to go on Keto and loose plenty of weight in no time, but its difficult to be in keto for a long time as its so restrictive. If i see friends on diet "having a treat" eating pizza after achieving a diet goal - I know they will fail.
I have lost 24 kg (52 pounds) during pandemic just dieting, but i dont eat pre pandemic food anymore.
What I suggest from my experience - low carb, low fat high protein diet (means no pizza no bread, no chips'fries no rice (incl brown)) plenty of protein from meat eggs whatever. No MILK, Cheese etc. Then after 2-3 weeks when you see you have no cravings and you already eat less (throw away any food from plate left when you are full) set yourself few times a week an 8 hrs window when you eat and fast 16 hours (include your sleep) so 10am-6pm eat as much as you want, then dont eat. forget about snacking FOREVER even after your diet.
Be consequent, no compromises, no cheats.
I have reversed diabetes, I have got rid of gout. I have started (at the end of dieting) sport activities on a decent level (indoor rowing). But DIET IS CRUCIAL.
Read dr. Michael Mosley Sugar Diet, Read Tim Ferris 4 hours Body (his diet is similiar to mine - strangely i didnt read that then), watch videos about Intermittent Fasting concept and erase from your head snacking concept.

Yes as previous reply.

1. get a hobby - do something outside work, get involved in it - wether it is cooking, sport activities etc. but get REALLY involved - meaning find your niche in cooking go to festivals etc, join FB groups, go and MEET people. Go to the gym and MEET personal trainer, who will teach you and set your goals or if you can't afford it join gym classes suitable to your fitness (spinning etc.). meet real people, get involved.
2. go for long walks few tmes a week - i do 4 hours walk to the neghbouring villages once a week - already discovered more fascinating places than locals born here driving cars all their life, cycle if its road safe.
3. set a can and pay some money in it if you watch porn
4. if you are horny wank without porn away from your computer.
