First, if you're not already lifting intensely, start
The single best way to lose weight is to increase your basal metabolic rate, while intaking a large amount of protein & building muscle (endothermic) while minimizing your intake of carbs
1) Lift at least 3-4 days per week, ~2 hour sessions, I recommend a PPLPPL repeating cycle, do 10 minutes of cardio at the end of each day
2) Consume large amounts of protein but restrict your carb intake to only what is necessary - usually just one big meal of carbs per day in a pseudo-intermittent fasting style, remember protein itself is low-calorie and the building of muscle is endothermic (consumes energy)
3) DO NOT snack at night... we're all guilty of this... this is the single biggest factor in losing weight - have your protein shake at night and NOTHING else
20 kg is alot to lose but you can easily lose 20 pounds in a month, if you keep it up you can achieve 20 kg loss in 2 months!
I agree with all of this other than the snacking at night. If he is burning more calories per day than consumed he will lose weight regardless of what time he eats
Just to add to the list I would also say don't drink your calories. Cutting out alcohol and soda alone could be enough to lose weight for heavy drinkers.
Also 20kg in 2 months is an enormous amount of weight to lose.. it's all relative to how much you weigh and how much you are currently overweight. If you weigh 300kg losing 20kg in 2 months isn't much.. if you weigh 100kg.. it's nearly impossible and also not good.
Generally speaking, if you lose a lot of weight very quickly you will put it back on very quickly.
I would aim for a max of .5-1kg per week - keeping in mind that you should weigh yourself daily for the week then average the weight at the end of the week for the best idea of how much youre losing.
