Advice: Small lifestyle changes to lose weight

TL;DR My mom lives a sedentary yet constantly busy lifestyle and stress eats a lot. How can she make small changes to help herself?

Hey guys. I'm sorry if this is the wrong subreddit. I figured since this was about weight loss maybe you guys could help with this?

My moms doctor recently told her she needs to lose weight. I myself have done some tricks for weight loss and I've had success with it, but obviously you cant compare the metabolism and lifestyles of a 17 yr old female to a 48 yr old female. Here's the problem...

She stress eats A LOT. She says she keeps things like carrots and cucumbers around to help her stay healthy with it but she knows she reaches for higher calorie/fat/sugar foods. She lives a relatively sedentary lifestyle because of her full time desk job, which is long long hours (and therefore I'm usually the one to help out with housework because she gets home so late) and goes to bed really really late. I know these are obvious problems to be fixed and they seem to have obvious solutions, but it's not always easy to just change your lifestyle in such major ways and nothing I know about weight loss could help her specific situation. She eats healthy and drinks lots of water. She doesnt have time to exercise or really just have time to herself. She also works a part time job where she stands and walks most of the time.

Basically, I was wondering if anyone here had the same sort of struggle and still lost weight? How did you do it?

My mom isnt at risk of any serious medical emergency but if her doctor says it, it's time to take it serious.

If anyone could give ANY tips on even small changes that are tried and true, that would be so helpful. Thanks!
