None of us is really qualified to give you advices, we can share some opinions and personal experiences with you. If you need solid food advice go to a registered dietitian, not a nutritionist.
If you want to lose weight you need to eat less calories then you use. Simple as that.
I'll use myself as an example. Male/30/135lbs, standard office job. Walks for maybe 1 hour a day and does body weight exercise. I do intermittent fasting and have a 5 hour eating window. Typically i eat 2 meals a day. Lunch is usually 4-5 cups of diced roasted vegetable. Dinner is standard chinese dinner with meat/veggie/and small bowl of rice. Weekend, i don't really track i eat what i feel like. This works for me and allows me to do the physical activities i enjoy and my weight is stable. I'm guessing my TDEE is around 2100 calories.
So what is body composition like, what are your goals, how determined are you? Then we can try to give you some general guidelines.
