Minimizing added sugar/processed carbs while at home (mostly ate what I wanted when out to eat with spouse, made slightly healthier choices with friends), stopping all drinking outside of special occasions (weddings, anniversary's, birthdays), and exercising 3x/week (using Fitbod) led me to lose 25 pounds in ~8 weeks. My main cheats were dark chocolate and a weekly trip to In-N-Out.

I didn't need to lose a ton of weight but I had some elevated liver enzymes and my doctor was mildly concerned about fatty liver disease so I looked for the easiest changes for me to make. The biggest lifestyle changes were no more almond lattes (almost all non-dairy options are sweetened) and eating a ton of eggs instead of a daily breakfast sandwich.
