Welcome to the forum, keto is a good option but the diet needs of each person is individual, there is no one diet plan that will suit everybody, usually the best place to start is your existing diet combined with working out what your individual nutrition needs are.
What does your current diet look like ?
how much do you weigh ?
what is your bodyfat %
how tall ?
how old ?
activity level (exercise) ?
Injuries, health conditions, allergies ?
I have been keto for years, however what I eat based on the keto guidelines are different from what somebody else may be eating.

Welcome Zachary!
These are some things that truly helped me lose weight quickly, without a lot of effort.
- No late night snacking! When you lie down in your bed it's a lot more difficult for your stomach to digest the food.
- Drink lots and lots of water! Except when you're eating a big meal, because it's commonly used to flush your meal down which will make you eat more.
- Eat slowly. The brain takes 20 minutes to register when you're full.
- It's been proven that eating from a smaller plate, or a plate with a blue color will decrease the amount of food you eat.

Hi, Zachary,
I'm a brand new member to this forum. Looks like you're pretty new as well. Congrats on reaching out to this forum and asking for help. That's a good first step. I personally have struggled with weight loss in my past. I've lost a lot of weight and put it back on again. Very frustrating and very bad for my confidence. As I got older, it began to affect my health in really noticeable ways, like really bad heartburn and constant coughing. I was able to change.
This whole "diet" thing is very misleading. In many cases, you're depriving yourself for a future goal (i.e. weight loss) which is not fun. Even if you're able to achieve this weight loss by depriving yourself, you end up going right back to your old habits and putting the weight on all over again. Depriving yourself with restrictive diets is never the answer for real change. You can only achieve long-term success by adopting new habits that work for you and that you can stick with and be happy (and healthy).
I love food and I always will. Eating is one of the great joys of life. I just eat a lot more of the foods I like that are good for me and less of the foods I like that are bad for me. I eat none of the foods I hate that are good for me. This may sound simplistic but has worked miracles in my case.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Chris

Hi, Zachary ....
The way you lose the weight is the way you’ll have to keep it off ,there’s no sense in picking up a rigorous and unsustainable regimen that you won’t be able to keep up long-term, because as soon as you stop it, you’ll wind up gaining the weight back again, and then some. switching from being a couch potato to a 5-mile a day routine likely isn’t sustainable, and is likely to set you up for major disappointment. that’s not just with exercise, that’s with the way you eat, as well. Going vegan to lose weight isn’t going to make the weight loss permanent.
you can’t go back to eating meat afterwards and think you’re going to keep that weight off. You can’t go low carb just to lose weight, and then go back to All Bread Everything once you hit your goal, thinking the weight’s going to stay gone.
this is important because you have to unlearn the things that contributed to your weight gain to begin with. You have to learn which foods contributed to your weight gain the most, and find more reasonable ways to enjoy those dishes or items. Maybe you have to stop putting so much sugar in your coffee and teas, or maybe you keep sugaring them the way you always have, but only enjoy them once or twice a week, not three times a day. You have to find a way of eating that makes you happy as well as healthy, and it has to be a way that you can live with.
