Calorie negative diet. I hear ozempic has worked wonders for many people. Obviously consult a doctor as I don't know shit about medicine.

dude, ozempic
I managed losing 20kg within a year without major exercise using a combination that fit me. Baseline calories about 2000kcal/day, so restricted to 1300kcal to give me some room for error. Next was switching to Keto, so I could manage hunger a lot better. Next I wrote everything in my food tracker app, often planning my entire day in there. Put the sauces away, found a good low-carb curry ketchup and used that a lot, was also low calories. I made lots of mistakes, often hidden calories, salad sauces, remoulade alternatives that just weren't, and what hurt the most were sugar alternative products. If you want to lose weight, there is no alternative.
What helped me get through was adding a "cheat day" every sunday, which was not a sugar cheat day, but one with 2000kcal more in keto stuff (only the basics, not any of these replacement thingies) and some protein puddings which was the only exception.
Stope eating anything processes , drink only water, WALK several miles a day.
OP said no exercise.
Why can't you exercise?
Cuz its time consuming
So you don't have time to do it, or are you just lazy?
If the latter, get a big dog. You will need to walk it at least twice daily, and that's probably the minimal amount of exercise you should do.
Exrcise ya lazy bollix.
Is this a serious question?
Look if you don't care about your health, you can crash diet, sure, but you'll lose water weight first, and then will lose muscle alongside the fat, especially if you don't exercise. You will also feel miserable and will make others feel miserable being around you. And you'll most likely pack it back on when you quit the diet.
