Are you burning more calories than you eat? If so, then yes you will lose weight.0

Where is the food??? So yeah, you will lose weight.
I just looked up Roti and Paratha, they basically bread. I learned something.0 -
I predict burnout within 2 weeks. I don't know what Paratha or a Roti are, but I'd die of sorrow if dinner every night was tea...and nothing but tea.0

@dolliesdaughter
Paratha= Wheat flour + Oil
Vegetable= I eat daily different veggies with Roti(Wheat flour)
Black Tea= Black Tea + Milk + Sugar or Jaggery

The best way to find out is to wait a few weeks and see if you did or not. You don't have calorie counts next to your meals so there is really no way for me to absolutely know if you will lose weight or not, however from the looks of it, you are eating EXTREMELY low calories, so likely, you will lose weight...then, you will get frustrated, and then, you will gain it back.0

Yes, you will lose weight. No, it will not be healthy. You're eating bread, veggies, and tea. Where's the protein? You're a guy. At your weight, you could eat over 2000 calories and still lose weight, especially with the exercise you're doing. You're on MFP to count calories. How about go to your profile and set it up and go by that plan?0

I love roti and paratha but you can't live like that the rest of your life, it's just not sustainable.0

@chandanista actually i cant eat after 5:00 Pm. I study alot so thats why i drink only black tea at dinner time.
Roti= Wheat flour Cooked

It doesn't look to me like you are eating enough. I don't see much protein in what you are showing here. If this was me, I couldn't stick to it.0

@jessicapk is right. While macros (protein, carbs, fat) don't matter for weight loss, they do matter for nutrition. With a low protein diet like you have, you can expect to lose a great deal of muscle and struggle with being "skinny fat" if you even make it close to your goal.
We always recommend inputting your information into MyFitnessPal and following the calorie limit they suggest. The goal is to get as close to that number without going over.0 -

Studying sooooo hard that you can't fit in any snacks? I don't believe it. I finished my bachelor's degree in 3 years and still had time to gain almost 100 pounds during that time. I'm currently in a Ph.D. program and I still had time to gain 20 pounds during the first semester.
You make time for the things you want to make time for.0 -
@jessicapk

Chances are, with this nutrition, you will constantly feel sluggish. We can't stop you from doing it as it is your decision. Personal experience is the best teacher.0

The thing that determines if you lose weight is whether or not you burn more calories than you consume. Full stop.
It's hard to say exactly because you didn't include quantities or calories, but this looks like far too few calories for an adult male to survive on, and almost no protein. While you will lose weight on a plan like that, the weight lost will include the lean muscle that keeps you strong and fires your metabolism, and you will be hungry, tired, miserable, and probably give up after a short time, gaining any weight lost back.
Put your numbers in to MFP. See what calorie goal it gives you. Start weighing and measuring your food and eat at a reasonable deficit. Eat protein and fat along with carbs. Eat a variety of foods so you get the micronutrients your body needs. You should not be going under 1500 net calories a day. That's unsustainable and not healthy anyway.
Two pieces of bread, two servings of vegetables, and three cups of sweet tea are not enough for a person to live on very long, so this method of eating, even if you were able to sustain it long enough to lose the weight you want (which is unlikely) won't teach you anything about how to eat at maintenance to stay fit for the rest of your life. You need to learn how to make good choices about food that you can continue to make forever, or else there's no point.0 -
So drink your tea. And have some cheese and crackers with it or something.0
-
Add paneer, eggs, milk, daal, and other legumes into your diet.
Be careful how your veggies are prepared. Ghee/oil can quickly add up in calories of not properly measured.0 -

no one said you couldn't have black tea. Just that saying you 'can't' eat after 5pm because you study a lot is rubbish.
You eat mostly bread products and vegetables. There is little to no protein in your diet. Rather than use your own spreadsheet why not use MFP to log, as it is specially designed to note down all your meals (and calculate your macros etc.) and balance out your calories eaten against calories burned. It makes life easier for you, so you can spare some time to eat in addition to studying.
What are your goals?0 -
Nuts are great snacks also and Dried fruits

Even with light exercise, your TDEE is coming up at over 3000 calories. And I'm sure you burn more if you are truly walking that much. Go to Fitness Frog and do the TDEE calculator with your accurate stats. Deduct no more than 1000 calories from that amount and then eat that much every day. That will yield you an average of 2 lbs a week to lose. Pay attention to your macros because, like @thiosulfate said, you can lose weight without paying attention, but you will not be working towards your own health. Your body needs fuel and it will mutiny against you if you starve it.0
