Hi, and welcome!

My top three...:

1. Get (and use) a food scale - accurate logging = greater results!
2. Try to fit in some exercise (google "Exercising with kids", and you'll get a lot of ideas if finding time is an issue).
3. Meal prepping simplifies busy days...

Good luck,
B

When is your holiday? Depending on your starting weight, you may be looking at a maximum rate of loss of 1 lb per week, which might not give you long enough to lose 20 lb.

My top tips are:
1. Be too busy to be hungry - sounds like that shouldn't be a problem for you

2. Make room in your calorie allowance for a little bit of anything you really crave.
3. Learn to love fruit and veg!

Unless your holiday is in August/September you may have to adjust your expectations a little.

With only 21lbs to lose a healthy rate of loss is more like 0.5-1lb per week for you. You may drop a little quicker at the start due to water weight coming off and if you incorporate some strength training/ensure you're getting adequate protein you will help to maintain muscle which may improve your body composition/appearance as you lose fat.

Log accurately (food scale is best)
Planning meals ahead can be useful for helping stick to your calorie goals

Ideas please 💪🏼
