After years of experimentation, here is the list of things that I do and I think might help others:

(from easier to harder)

1 - Reduce the amount of food you consume on every meal. A trick I use is to drink plain sparkling water while eating. It’s a healthy drink and helps you to feel full.

2 - DO NOT eat between meals. Only allow yourself to have water, tea or coffee (these last two only if you have them without any sugar nor cream)

3 - Avoid sugar as possible. Do not add sugar to something unless it’s strictly necessary.

4 - Consider doing intermittent fasting. I personally do 16 - 24 hours fasting one or two times per week. Every three months I also do a 72 hours one. Be careful and read about the topic because depending on your metabolism you might need a different program.

5 - Do cardio regularly. You don’t need to go outside for running. In my case, I have a stationary bike I bought on Amazon and use it for 30-45 minutes three days a week while watching some stuff in YouTube.

6 - Do muscular training. It doesn’t need to be on a gym lifting weights. Me personally do climbing and callisthenics.

Hope it helps.
