I weight 66 kg and my height is 1.70 m. I do cardio 6 times a week and strength exercises. My diet is healthy, no sugars, only cooked food. The only carbs I get is from fruits and vegetables.

    Nope.

    It's only safe to lose 1% of total body weight per week. in your case, you can safely lose .6kg per week. So, probably closer to half that. 2kg-ish.

    And that's if you're consistent with a 600-ish calorie deficit per day.

    In your case, because you're already in a healthy BMI range and you're not very overweight, it may be more realistic to aim for .22kg per week (.5 pounds per week). In other words, it would take you about 12-16 weeks to hit your goal.

    No, it will not be possible if you want to lose fat and not muscle. You can lose up to 2 kilos in that many days. To lose 4 kilos you'll need at least 50 days. Why the rush?

    A restrictive diet is not healthy, and what you eat will not directly affect your weight (loss).

    Why do you need to lose that much in such a short period of time??

    Not in a way that's safe or healthy for you. If you're taking care of your body by purposely choosing heathy foods, why would you subject it to such drastic weight-loss methods?

    This would not be good. Why do you want to lose so quickly by a certain date?

    If you were closer to 100KG, this would be aggressive, but feasible. You could probably manage it, but it would be very difficult, and you would be unlikely to maintain the loss, as 4 weeks of starving would result in a hard bounce in the amount you'd eat once the restriction period was over.
