It's also important to change how you eat.
Do you tear open a box/bag of something and gun it down in front of a screen?
Try making yourself actual meals. Use napkins and silverware and non-paper plates. Make a protein, a carb, and some greens. Sit at the dinner table, not in front of the TV.
Even if it's just a snack you can present it nicely. Cut the apple up and lay it out with bits of cheese.
Make the meal seem special.
Most people have gluttony eating disorder. They cannot stop eating and cannot fathom suffering with hunger... Which is required to lose weight. They will make 6 fancy meals a day instead of snacking, if they change habits at all.
Eating air fried cauliflower will fix nothing, as they will eat 800 calories of it in a sitting, and cannot imagine that they need 1500 calories a day for 3 years to not prematurely die in the next 5-10 years.
It's the worst epidemic we have.
Where did you get the 'most people' statistic?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/search/research-news/12328/
"About 74 percent of adults in the U.S. are overweight, according to the CDC
That includes nearly 43 percent who are considered obese. "
I mean, look around... And it's a disorder because they cannot stop, they cannot help themselves no matter what education you give them, and it's directly connected to universally understood negative medical outcomes. It's a disease based on addiction psychopathology.
I feel personally attacked
There was a cartoon. One person says that the only time they clean their apartment is when someone special is coming over. The other says "Don't you think you're special?"
How I received the post
So do I... Because it"is accurate when I'm not eating right! Haha 😮
Mind you, I do all that (without fail) and I'm still a lardarse.

15 minute a day plan. The only equipment you need is a stopwatch.
Starts at a level anyone who can walk around the block can do.
Ah. I can't walk around the block. I have CFS and post exertional malaise.
Damn, thats tough, you have strict limitations on the level of physical exertion you can do. This means that your diet is really the only realistic way to manage your weight.
You mentioned you already eat healthy snacks but if you are still overweight, you have been eating more kcal than you use, over a long period of time. Tracking calories is not fun but have you tried it? Its not something you need to do forever, just long enough to have an understanding of what you need to eat.
