2500kcal a day and very hungry. What went wrong?

I have been trying a diet for the past 6 weeks to no avail. I have 40 BMI at the moment at 268 lbs.

I am on a 2,500 kcal diet but I am still very hungry and become nauseated, tired, foggy brain until I eat more. I drink a lot of water but it does not seem to help. For exercise, I do1.5-2 hours session of expert / expert+ beat saber 5 out of 7 days per week.

These are what I have been eating these past 6 weeks.
Breakfast (5:30 / 6am)
A toss salad bowl no dressing (110kcal)
3 baked skinless chicken thighs. (530kcal)
A sprinkle of very hot sauces

Lunch (11am / 12pm)
500g of mixed carrots /sprouts / broccoli/ onions (~250kcal)
3 baked skinless chicken thighs (530kcal)
200g of silken Tofu (120kcal)

Dinner: (4/5pm)
Toss Salad Bowl No dressing (110kcal)
3 baked skinless chicken thighs (530kcal)
Miso Soup with 200g of Silken Tofu (~150kcal)
A sprinkle of very hot sauces

Snack:
1-2 Banana or few Strawberries (~200kcal)

At 7-8 pm I get uncontrollably hungry with this diet plan. Every other day, I couldn't resist the hunger and ended up walking 30 minutes to the grocery store to get some food. For example, Monday, Thursday, and Saturday are usually where I cheat.

Usually, I cheat with 1800g of baked spinach (400kcal), some salt, and garlic, with a sprinkle of cheese (~100kcal).
Or I would have 300g of lean peppered fillet mignon steak (~800kcal) and a toss salad bowl (110kcal).
Or 3/4 of a rotisserie chicken (~800kcal) and toss salad bowl (110kcal).

These cheat meals made me feel so much better for a couple of days so I can stick to the diet on the next day but it keeps repeating.

Does anyone have suggestions for me?
