if that is a picture of you on your profile, I seriously doubt you will be able to lose almost 2 pounds a week eating that diet. As was said, set up your goals in MFP, log that meal plan, and see where you stand.

Also, getting bigger glutes doesn't tend to go with weight loss! You will need to lift weights.

Aside from that, the menu looks fairly healthy and nutritious.

Do you doubt it because maybe I'm eating too much, I'm thinking about putting my meals on a side dish plate to limit portions!
I do train legs and glutes 3 days a week on average I'm getting stronger but I feel I have too much fat around the thighs and my calves are 15 inches so pretty big for someone of my height thank you for replying

No he means that hypertrophy (gaining muscle) takes effort and appropriate diet, generally eating in surplus

And while it is not impossible to gain muscle in defecit (eating fewer calories than you burn) it is very tricky, more so for a woman

When you say train legs and glutes you need to be incorporating progressive resistance (each week you increase weights, or intensity, or reps etc it's about progressing and overloading the muscles to force them to repair and grow), easiest with weights for many but not the only ways

You can get stronger without gaining muscle because of neuromuscular adaptation (your brain/body gets better at the signals so more efficient and you are stronger without increased mass), particularly in noobs

That said to lose weight you need to eat at a defecit ...you may get to it by guessing calories, or you may need to start weighing and counting

And dependent on how much you weigh determines how quickly you should lose ..aim for 1% per week
