How to drop from 42 inches Men's Suit Jacket to 40 Inches Suit Jacket in 30 days?

They say it takes a 10lb loss/gain to move up/down one size. With my weight loss, it hasn't been even; for example drop a jeans (waist) size, before dropping enough weight for my tops to be a smaller size. impossible to spot reduce. The closer you are to a healthy weight the slower weight loss will be (in a healthy way). So 2lb to 3lb loss per week for 4 weeks is on higher end, and could be unhealthy.

This is literally impossible to answer. You can't control where you lose fat from. So you could kill yourself to lose 1 kg per week and it could all come from your lower body. Or it could all come from your midsection. Or some average of the two.

And if it actually would take you 5kg to lose in a month, unless you are more than 50 lbs overweight, you will have to do something really unhealthy to lose that much in that little time.

You're welcome. I'm not sure why my comment was wooed by someone. It's entirely possible and I did it safely.

Track what you eat & track your exercise. If you make an effort to be pretty regular about exercising & eating right, 5Kg in 30 days should be a piece of cake (oops, maybe I should have used a better metaphor).

Can you suggest a diet or workout plan for this goal?

I'm just tracking and exercising within a deficit. I only eat back some of the exercise calories because I'm very short and I need to. So far, I've been losing 1kg a week.

To be fair though, do you only have 5kg or so to lose, like it at least seems is OP's situation? How much weight you can easily and/or safely lose depends on how much extra weight you're carrying. You can lose faster when you're heavier, but weight loss is usually slow and unpredictable when you're down to the last 10 lbs. It's for sure not coming off at a pace of 1kg per week!

Fair enough, but I respectfully disagree that "500g-1kg a week is considered safe" is accurate as a blanket statement.

The recommendation I usually see is that if you lose more than 1% of your body weight per week, you are almost certainly sacrificing far more muscle mass than you would want, and are most likely not properly fueling your body. Most already fairly lean people trying to lose a few vanity lbs would have to undereat or exercise excessively to have enough of a deficit to lose 1kg per week.

OP seems settled on trying though, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

You may want to take a look at the book, Jumpstart to Skinny by Bob Harper. It’s only meant to be for 3 weeks-not long term, but it’s written for people that are in situations like yours. Only 10 days in and I am happy with the results.
