Agreed. But we should still acknowledge that losing fat is difficult for multiple reasons. Sure, ultimately it's basic physics. If you operate on a caloric deficit over a longer period of time you will lose weight. That is true for everybody. But on a personal level it can be quite a challenge to lose fat and not gain it again. There are often life-long habits to overcome, sometimes (mental) health issues to deal with. You must find the time and energy and money to change your eating habits to something healthy. A simple drastic reduction of your caloric intake is unsustainable and unhealthy, you need to come up with a good plan. You need to find time to work out, because that's also healthy and muscle mass is vital to losing fat. And I sad fat, not weight, because if you gain muscles you will also gain weight, as muscles are heavier than fat. But that's healthy weight. Anyway, I'm rambling.

I'm not saying this to discourage anyone, living healthier will benefit you in so many ways. But I feel it's worth acknowledging that there's usually more to it than just counting calories.

I'm just pleasantly shocked you used the word 'lose' so many times without spelling it 'loose'

Weight loss is letting the fat loose.
