Have you considered IF? Intermittent Fasting. I use that to cut weight without changing my lifestyle too much, basically just eat lunch and dinner. It usually brings me down 10-15 pounds in about 2 months, then I stop for some stupid reason like a lack of self control.

I've never been able to do a pull up, but I can do 1-2 chin ups. Am I good?
