In order to lose weight you have to have a caloric deficit. Calories in must be exceeded by calories out. The quickest way to do it is just to eat less. While this strategy will work for a while, it has its drawbacks.
First the body gets in a starvation mode once you drop calories for a prolonged period. Thus it starts burning less energy for the same activities and weight loss thus platoes.
Also, if no weight training is added to the daily activities, the weight loss will be partly from the decrease of the muscle/organ/tissue mass. This is a bad thing as it decreases the number of calories the body burns.
A better approach is to decrease calories a bit but also add more activities as well as some resistance training. Bodyweight exercises are great for this because while you are dropping weight, they start being easier for you.
