I was 50.7kg last year. Over the past 1 year, I gained weight up to 60kg. It'd be nice to lose weight up to 50kg again, but it was too difficult to maintain even though I'm pretty short. So, my new goal is 55kg, 121 lbs. I'm 5'6'', so it's not as good as competitive athletes (elite boxers who do good who are the same height as me are about 53kg), but it's the best I can do.
This weight loss isn't as fast as I am hoping to get this done. My weight has been keep fluctuating (going down then going back up) mostly because I like to eat, and it is really hard to stay away from food. (Food is entertainment here.)

But do you really know what's realistic? Over the long term, it's smart to aim for losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week. Generally to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day, through a lower calorie diet and regular physical activity.
According to Mayoclinic, this seems realistic though. I am eating 3 times a day (not doing intermittent fasting anymore), eating 60g protein everyday, lifting bodyweight for 10 minutes in the morning, walking around at fast pace for about 2 hours everyday (400 Calories burned with walking). I am hoping to eat less though. I want to eat only 2 times a day. I couldn't make it today, but hopefully I will be able to pull it off tomorrow. I am drinking a lot of decaf coffee with artificial sweetener and skimmed milk.
