The hardest part isn't losing weight, but keeping it off.
Not to mention the fact that if you're a frequent yo-yo dieter, it will become increasingly difficult to lose the weight you regain as you get older. And you run the risk of your brain slowing down its metabolism (starvation protection mode).
Not a good idea to get lower than 80 % of your required calorie intake. Otherwise, you will pay the bill early or late (deferred problems).

Not listened to. Why?
Just one example; we can't manage without a minimum amount of fat. 20 % should be targeted.
On a reduced-fat or no-fat diet, you may not get all the key nutrients your body needs. Your body needs dietary fat to absorb vitamins A, D, E and K.
otherwise, we live off our reserves.

Excerpt from Dr. Axe:
As famous fat advocate, doctor and author David Perlmutter, M.D., puts it in his book “Brain Maker,” “For the greater part of the past 2.6 million years, our ancestors’ diets consisted of wild animals and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Today most people’s diets are centered on grains and carbs — many of which contain gut-blasting, microbiome-damaging gluten whose downstream effects reach the brain. Even setting aside the gluten factor, one of the main reasons that consuming too many grains and carbs is so harmful is that they spike blood sugar in ways other foods, such as fats, meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables, do not.”
