My obese mom isn't supporting my weight loss

So yeah, this is pretty much the problem. I'm 16 yo now and I used to be very fat, around 100 kgs. My mom is around 120 kgs. I've lost 24 kgs since October. At first, my mom said she's proud of me and supported me but when I reached like 83 kgs, it has started to change. She started baking more pies and encouraged me to eat it, or encouraged me to take a break. So I did and I let myself go a bit... and I gained 2 kilograms back (from 75 to 77). Then I said enough and hopped back on the train. She wasn't happy about it and we had several fights over food. The problem is that she isn't eating very unhealthy but very big portions. I of course control my portions which led to my rye bread being too old, or rotten fruits, ham, cheese etc because I don't consume 200grams of pasta with a lot of meat and meat sauce like her. I decided we need to have a serious talk, it was very long and it seemed like she finally understood my feelings about my weight. She agreed on supporting me. But that didn't last long. I actually feel really good now, I have more self esteem, I'm much more fitter. We started having fights over my eating again, she says that my veggies and fruits are too expensive, so I say "then don't buy that much of them?" So she says that if she wouldn't I'd eat it all and there wouldn't be anything left for her. On the other hand, when I don't eat it, it rotts because she doesn't eat it anyway. She tells me I look much worse, that I don't have any boobs and that's ugly, that my belly and thighs are still big, that I look unhealthy etc but I think I look better compared to when I was so fat. I had a double chin etc... It ended up with me doing my school things which takes me about 5 hours every day, 2 hours of walking and jogging, an hour of work out, cooking my own lunch, my own breakfast and my own dinner, cleaning up my room etc. So every day I'm very busy, almost with no time to just sit for a few minutes and read or watch something like the other kids that are in quarantine. She basically things that she's a pro nutritionist since she watched some program on tv about losing weight, and I, who actually lost it with plenty of veggies, protein and sport, am doing it all wrong. She also used to say that she will start losing weight with me, but it was like: "since I won't be able to eat this and this when I'll eat healthy, I need to eat it one last time, so I'll start next week. Guess what, she didn't. Sometimes I think that she's jealous because I was able to lose weight but she thinks she isn't. Also, she still buys chips and unhealthy snacks which makes it even harder for me to stick to my diet.
