Try  a weight loss app like "lose it". Like Iaacas said "eat fewer calories than you burn"

You either eat less, exercise more, or some combination. 

One thing about an app, it really makes you look at what you are eating. Give up a scone a day (insert your treat of choice) could be a pound a week at 500 calories per piece. 3500 calories is around a pound. or Saying no to any food that is offered to you in the office. Plan ahead, reduce restaurant food.

Eat for what you have DONE, not what you are going TO DO. Good breakfast, medium lunch and small dinner. Add fruit. Best wishes, -Marv

I want to lose weight 10 kg in 3 months? So please advice me how to lose weight easily?

For most males the low carb will grant you pretty rapid weight loss. It’s simple in regards to being able to still eat yet lose weight. I was once up to 300lbs and went through many different ‘diets.’ Nothing gave me better results rapidly as low carb intake. There’s tons of reasearch in this field and it’s hard to keep up with. Many people have had success with a variety of methods. With low carb the biggest issue I have come across with poor results from people is that they really didn’t follow a plan. They didn’t really keep an honest account of their carb intake. Less than 20g/day for the first two weeks. It’s really not that hard. Meats, fish, cheese, eggs are the staples. Plenty of stuff out there to research. When I’ve porked up from stretches of poor eating I go on a low carb regimen and always get back to a good weight. I’ve stayed between 220-230lbs controlling my carbs ever since I came down from the big 300. It’s about life changes really. But I do think the low carb regimen would give you a positive boost in motivation the quickest.

As somebody who lost that amount in that sort of timeframe last year, here's a few hints that I believe helped me :

 - Cut out fizzy drinks/juices etc completely, these are wasted calories. Substitute with sweetened drinks (usually taste just as good) or just water. 
- Try and eat more protein, as losing weight will be hard on your body. Protein will also make you feel fuller.

- Also try eating more fiber (proportionally), as again this will help you feel fuller for longer, but you don't absorb the fiber. 
- I didn't used to eat until around midday - I wouldn't feel that hungry in the AM, so it was an easy fast. It's not 'standard' advice, which says eat a good breakfast, but I always found that i ate something early doors, I was hungry for more
- Another counter intuitive one was running before bed - I used to do bursts on the treadmill , shower and then bed - it didn't make me feel hungry, so it never seemed like i had to go and eat those calories afterwards. 

Weight came off fairly easily, and has remained off since (I reverted back to 'normal' once BMI hit 20)

Anecdotally I agree... as someone who has always struggled with trying to gain weight, one of the best things I've done is started to drink a protein shake in the morning. It's about 700 calories, and it immediately fills me up, but by lunch time I'm super hungry and have a large appetite. The less I eat for breakfast, the less hungry I am at lunch. Counter-intuitive.

Calculate your TDEE and put yourself in a caloric deficit of approximately 20%.  Incorporate strength training if you haven't already done so.

I did this and it was very successful because it allowed me to eat foods I wanted.  I pretty much follow a IIFYM diet.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
