Need advice on losing weight before a big trip (hoping to drop 40 lbs, but realistically 20?)

Hey y'all! I’ve got travel plans and I’m trying to lose at least 20lb within 5 months. Ideally, I’d love to lose 40 lbs, but I know that might be pushing it—20 lbs is probably a more realistic goal, and I’d still be super happy with that.

I’m a 35-year-old woman, 5'3", currently 175 lbs. I’ve been lifting weights on and off for about 4 years. My diet over these past years was ok some months and others not so much 😂 especially with the drinking 🍻. Although recently (this past year) I’ve gone pretty heavy with the weights and my diet has been pretty good. I feel like my metabolism is in a better place than it used to be.

Where I struggle is diet and routine. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and I'll able to control my meals. I just recently like very recently I got the hook up with glucose/insulin meds, so I’ve got that covered 😜. I just need help building a plan that works.

So what kind of daily structure or routine works best for fat loss?

Would a mostly protein shake-based diet be okay short-term?

Can I avoid heavy cardio? Running really messes with my breathing, but I love weightlifting and can do it for long sessions.

I’m open to suggestions and I'm really motivated to make this happen. I know weight loss takes time, but I’d love to get a solid plan in place and start making progress now.

Thanks so much for any tips, ideas, or encouragement!
