To stick, it does need to be a lifestyle change. If our diet and exercise (etc.) cause our health to degrade over the long term, then we probably need to change our habits in a way that avoids that.
That is, normal for us should be what provides continued health, rather than something we have to “fix” now and again with special diets.
Also, I’m not the person you asked, but to answer your specific question, I changed my lifestyle about five years ago, and — although I needed to make adjustments based on whether I was looking to lose weight or gain muscle or whatever — the overall idea going in was that this would be permanent. And that’s worked for me.

I started on, or around 27/05/2019. I say that because I think I actually started a day or two before, but I can't remember now.

you should check out this talk to understand why that's the case and it might be different with fasting
In any thread on these topics I feel that there will be a number of people reporting their relatively recent smashing success with some method. I’ve had multiple smashing successes myself, lasting over a year, but have always eventually slid back — and then never replicated the success despite lots of effort using the same method. It hasn’t been until I switched to something different that I’ve found success again.
It’s like the body eventually learns both physical and psychological tricks to accumulate energy under any regime.
