You could take a look at this site, which will give you example menus for a given calorie level and eating style for free, with recipes. If you sign up for a free account, my understanding is that you can fine-tune the details even more.
https://www.eatthismuch.com/
To be transparent, I don't work for that site or get compensated in any way for linking it. I've played with the free/no account settings out of curiosity, but I don't even routinely use it myself. I'm too much of a flake/rebel, I guess . . . I don't want anyone else telling me what to eat. I like deciding myself, sometimes part way through cooking the meal.
To lose weight, I did this, which is more like "remodel your eating gradually" than a meal plan:

Please don't take any of that as a criticism: Different people do best with different tactics, and detailed meal plans work great for those they suit. They just aren't my particular jam.
Best wishes for success, however you proceed - the results are worth the effort!

Hello.
I would work just one meal at a time. you can still have large amount of food for 1300-1400 a day. I focus on protein and fiber and my meals and if i make a salad i could be eating that for hours and still not come near 1200 calories for the day.
feel free to join my group. I'll be happy to talk food with you.

I lose weight at 1350! Foods I like:
- two scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese (weigh cheese on food scale)
- grapes, cantaloupe, banana (also put on food scale)
- zucchini stir fried with onion then add a johnsonville sausage (make sure to count the oil you put in pan)
- half a cup of rice with 3 oz shredded chicken from a crock pot, quarter cup of black beans, diced tomatoes, and a 100 cal cup of guacamole
- a chobani yogurt with 28 grams bagged granola and half a banana
- tilapia (i thaw from frozen then bake or sear on top of stove)
- roasted potato or sweet potato in air frier (weigh potato slices before cooking and make sure you count the oil)2
