Will just cutting calorie intake help reduce weight loss?

I (21F) weigh 73 kg and am slightly above 5”2. My weight has increased by about 10 kg in the past 1 year and I want to lose it. I’ve tried yoga, exercise and also joined a gym (but I can’t afford a trainer so I basically used the treadmill, cycle and the elliptical) . None of these gave me any results. I have very low stamina and my work requires me to sit at the desktop for 12-14 hours. Today I was out of breath after climbing 2 flights of stairs. I think I’d normally consume around 1500-2000 calories a day. My diet isn’t completely healthy but it’s not all filled with junk. So my question is if I just limit my calorie intake and not exercise or exercise like 10-15 mins a day, will it suffice? I’m thinking of limiting my calories to 1000-1200 calories and not changing my diet. The reason I can’t change my diet is that I live with my parents. And my mother doesn’t really understand this. I’ve told her numerous times to give me only healthy food and I’ve also given her many healthy recipes. She says that it won’t taste good but she’ll try. Just 2 days ago, I had this talk with her and send her several recipes to try and also told her to limit the unhealthy food to one day such as Sunday. She said okay and today she makes Pasta filled with cheese for breakfast. And it’s not like she doesn’t know that I’m overweight. My family constantly ridicules me for my weight. She tells me to exercise every other day and comments on my figure. I’ve read articles and seen from my experience is that diet is what is to be controlled and only exercise won’t be of much help.

PS: The reason I can’t make my own food is I’m very slow and I don’t have that much time to cook my own meals so I rely on my mother for this.

TL/DR: can I lose weight by just lowering my calorie intake without changing my diet of eating healthy and unhealthy food?
