Need advice, struggling to lose weight

So I (21F) am struggling to lose weight. I currently weigh 85kg (187lbs) and stand at 160cm (5ft2).

In 2017 I weighed 58kg (127lbs) and gained 27kg (60lbs) in a little over a year when I went off my anti depressants and went back on with a new one. From a healthy raw vegan that went to the gym twice a week, I got hospitalized for depression, stopped working out and was forced to change my diet because of a stomach stress related ulcer I developed that caused me to become anemic. With this diet change I kind of lost control over what I could or could not eat because nothing was off limits anymore. I have since drastically reduced my sugar intake (cookies, cake, sweets, juices etc) and don’t drink soda (never really liked it).

I’m currently going to the gym twice a week, with one cardio exercise for 15 minutes, weight training for 20 minutes and then stretching/yoga for 15 minutes afterwards. I don’t have a car so I use public transportation, my bike or my feet to get around. In terms of food, I’m a vegetarian mostly leaning towards vegan. I don’t eat dairy and very little egg. I don’t snack that much, maybe a couple of times a week, I try to buy healthier snacks though like raw veg with hummus, nuts, etc. Most of the days of the week I skip breakfast because I’m not hungry, so I only eat two meals a day. I started using smaller plates so I eat smaller portions.

Yesterday I had an appointment with a plastic surgeon because I want a breast reduction, but she told me I have to lose weight to safely go under the knife. I need to lose AT LEAST 10kg (22lbs) but my goal would be get back to around 65kg (143lbs).

So I need some advice to get back on track, I REALLY want this surgery because I am extremely uncomfortable with my breasts, I have had big boobs for as long as I can remember (95F). Even without the surgery, I want to get back to healthy weight because 1) I don’t want to develop weight related diseases and 2) i want to feel comfortable and sexy in my body again.
