Eat less calories, or even better: less calories that you actually absorb.

You intestine cannot extract every calorie, especially those in unprocessed (fiberous) plant cells get excreted.

I find eating more helps me: eat more volume/weight, of less calorie dense foods. Diets like WFPB and raw mornings-and-or-afternoons do that for me.

I forgot where I read it but a cool rule of thumb is aim for foods with 1 calorie per gram or less and you’ll naturally lose weight.

Good luck finding many foods like that or enjoying them though.

During my raw fruity mornings and lunches I actually look for calories: which I mostly find in tropical fruits.

Also: not trying to lose weight, more trying to build some :)
