Like it doesnt matter about sugars fats proteins etc as long as youre on a calorie deficit youll lose weight?
Really as simple as that or am I missing something?
Yes. Basically. It's more complex than that, but at a base mechanistic level, that's pretty much all there is to it.

No, everybody has a different metabolism.
This is true, but it still doesn't circumvent the fact that weight loss / gain is caused by calorie deficit / surplus.

there is a "window" that you have to aim for but can't see. above a certain amount you gain weight. below a certain amount you go into starvation mode and your body starts holding on to more fat and consumes organs and muscle instead. you need to aim between those two points.
There is no such thing as starvation mode. It is completely made up.

Penn from Penn and Teller lost like 90 pounds eating only baked or boiled potatoes.
Certainly possible, but not a good idea for a variety of reasons.
