Not weird but I can share what has worked for me so far.

I'm pretty skinny but like to eat junk food and candy. My target weight is 80-82 kg. When I hit 90 kg I don't feel good about myself. Pants too tight etc.

First time I hit 90 kg was 2013. I tried intermittent fasting 8/16. This worked really well for me at that time. I lost weight really quickly. I could even continue my bad eating habits within the 8 hour window where eating is allowed and still loose weight.

I've stuck with a 8/16 diet with cheating up till now. Beginning of this year I hit 90 kg again. My old intermittent fasting diet did not seem to have the same effect any more (granted I cheated quite a bit at the end). I tried mixing it with Keto, counting every kcal, grams of carbs and fat in a log book. In one month I lost 8 kg so I think it was successful. I'm off Keto for now but I may be a trick you want to try. My main takeaways from Keto is that it really does take away your cravings. I could also do longer periods of fasting (did 36 hours two times) which I think would have been very hard for me when on a carb rich diet.
