debloating or losing fat?

[manhattanbound]

Yo guys this is not really on debloating or anything but my current weight is 150? to maybe 160 and my height is 5'11 or 5'10. I really want to lose weight like fast but my mom wont let me go to the gym until summer cause i have to focus on my studies. I have been lacking alittle Ive been eating very unhealthy but does anyone know how i can lose fat indoors? atleast until summer. Im going to try a caloric deficit but the thing is i just eat whatever my mom makes me so idk the exact vitamins and nutrients it gives me. Sorry if i sound unexperienced and I actually am when it comes to this stuff. Also sorry for the disgusting english

Your best option is buying a food scale or trying to estimate it. Just to clarify, I think you have a good idea but just in case, you don't lose weight by going to the gym. I mean yeah, the gym makes it so much easier, you can do cardio there and lift weights so you build muscle which naturally raises your caloric expenditure, but the main driver of fat loss is a caloric deficit.

Anyway, use an online calculator to figure out your caloric needs and work off from there. Depending on your activity level, it's probably between 2,059 to 2,211 for mild weight loss. If you have a food scale at home that makes it much easier, just way the food and pluck it into a tracker app (like Cronometer or MyFitnessPal), if you use Cronometer bonus points since it also tracks your micronutrients so you can stay up in that department. Just use a separate plate and put each portion of food to figure out how much is it. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FOOD SCALE, then you're pretty screwed since your calculations are going to be less accurate but either try to use something like a measuring cup or googling how each amount of whatever food you're eating looks on a plate and try to estimate how much food you're consuming. As I said, this is going to be less accurate so try to highball how much you're eating so regardless of how far you are, at least you can be sure you're almost in a deficit.

Hope your mom actually promises on getting you to the gym in the summer, in the meantime you can also just workout at home, I'll leave a calisthenics routine which I personally vouch for using whenever I'm traveling or can't go to the gym. It's brutal, but very effective at causing hypertrophy, anything is better than nothing. Also, try to stay ahead in school so hopefully even when summer ends you can keep going to the gym.

For the routine? No, it's entirely bodyweight. Though of course, if you can buy things like dumbbells, jump rope, etc., they may help you isolate some muscle and make cardio easier, but it's not a must in the routine.
