You try one, fail, get overwhelmed and end up worse than where you started.

Weight changes are determined by energy balance.

Energy Balance:

Energy In vs Energy Out

More in than out? Gain

More out than in? Lose

ENERGY IN.

Here are 3 factors that contribute to your energy in and how to manipulate them for weight loss.

1. Appetite

Your appetite obviously influences your intake, and we could go deep into Leptin, Ghrelin and many more...but here are some high level actionable tips.

If you tolerate caffeine well, this can be an excellent appetite suppressant. Using it to get through the mornings is a great way to decrease intake for the day.

A massive influence here is going to be CHEWING your food, and primarily eating whole, unprocessed foods.
