Diet planning HELP!!

If anyone can help me that would be great…..
Over the last couple of years I’ve paid for a couple of personal diets and I’ve always been given a diet which to be honest cost a lot over the time scale I’ve been given. I know a diet is not cheap but I’m just looking for someone to help me in what I would like to eat and work round my schedule.
I’ve put on “my fitnesspal app” and the info I put it says I should eat around 2200 calories a day and 90g of fat.

I like the basic food and happy to meal prep but I find it hard to find the right food.

I start work at 7am but as I’m never hungry in the morning my first meal is around 12.30pm and then my next meal is around 8.30pm and then a snack around 10pm and that is it. I’ve been told that is not good for me but that is what I’m used to for a few years now.

Would anyone have any ideas on what to eat and for it to benefit me in my goal to lose weight.

I also go to the gym which is actually helping me lose some weight.

Just eat basic non processed lean meat or fish, no coatings or pastry. Cut off all visible fat and skin from your meat, use bacon medallions instead of back bacon, use low calorie cooking spray to 'fry' in and buy mince that's 5% fat or lower.

You can fill up by eating loads of fresh veg and fruits, potatoes, rice, pasta, cous cous as long as no fat is added should be ok. Eggs too are rich in protein, fill you up and are low in fat.

Don't eat jars and packets of sauces or convenience food. They are full of hidden sugar, salt and other and crap you don't need. Breakfast cereals are another sugar and E number trap. Look for fat free yogurt. I buy natural Greek style and add a squirt of honey or fruit.

I use passata and tinned tomatoes as sauce instead, no unnecessary E numbers and it's cheaper too. Only one small wholemeal roll a day or two slices of wholemeal bread too.
60grams of hard cheese.
300ml of semi skimmed milk.

Also only ONE 'treat' a day like:
Half a pint of beer
300ml glass of wine
Two small fun size chocolate bars
One small packet of crisps.

Try for a week and see if you lose weight. It's pretty well balanced and good nutrition I think but I am not a nutritional expert or anything.

No expensive diet should be necessary, this is just basic healthy eating.
