Doctor gave questionable advice

So today I went to my doctor and she gave me some questionable advice…a month ago I got some bloodwork done and it turns out my cholesterol is high and my liver enzymes too. I’ve been struggling with my weight my whole life and that’s definitely the root of my issues. Between the bloodwork and the appointment today I actually lost some weight by just reprograming my diet a bit, nothing extreme tho…but the advice she gave me…it’s a bit worrying….she told me to pick up keto, to do a rigorous workout routine, not eat or drink anything “bad” basically for the rest of my life and to basically lose like 60lbs in like 3 months…she told me that she doesn’t agree with specialists that think this is to fast, which I personally believe it is. I asked her what about the excess skin, cuz that’s rapid weight loss without giving the body the time to adjust…she told me “oh just get a surgery to remove skin, I’ve done it myself too” like it’s no big deal at all. That honestly scared me a bit cuz I want to avoid something like this. I weigh around around 250 lbs and my goal would be to lose 50lbs in like a year so that my skin and body can adjust naturally. Can someone give me some advice if she actually has a point or is she being completely unreasonable?
