I feel so underconfident seeing myself in the mirror because I don’t look normal body shape like most people. I can’t wear certain colors and clothes because I just look fat. I have stomach bunch and feels like I have fat stored in the stomach, the back and sides and buttocks. I don’t know how to really lose weight. I’m eating more than I should be and barely move around. I guess walking for 20 mins a day isn’t going to cut it. So many videos on shakes, diet feels like a scam.

The truth is, there isn’t a fast way. However, moving more and eating less is the first step. You want to burn more than you take in. But do this in a healthy way. 3500 calories equals a pound. So, in theory, creating a 3,500-calorie deficit (by eating less, burning more, or both) would lead to losing 1 pound of fat. Start by moving more. Aim for a certain number of steps. Doesn’t mean you have to go from nothing to 10,000, aim for 5000 first. Then aim higher. What you eat is just as important. Higher protein meals tend to make you feel fuller longer. Don’t kill yourself over one mad meal or one day you don’t hit your step/move goal. It’s a process. Lean into it and it’ll provide.
You don’t need a diet you need to control calories only. If you eat too much fruits and vegetables you can gain weight
What you should do is type in your height and weight plus goal into a calorie calculator and it will give you a number to stick to. Most foods have labels that show you much calories is there
You can get away with donuts if you just stay below the limit. Lastly check your metabolism with a doctor, there could be a hormone issue making it harder to lose weight
Best of luck dear and you can love yourself while working it out 🫂

You can not get in shape fast. It’s not possible. You have to commit to small changes that are easy to stick to like working out x min x days a week, or adding a veggie and protien heavy meal to your day. It will take several months or longer.
To look the best you can, as you are now, limit sugar, no alcohol, lots of water, lots of sleep, and work up a sweat at least 2x week. Bonus points for getting more fruits and veggies.
