Yes, advice for weight loss THAT ACTUALLY WORKS is always boring, simple, and hard to do. Calorie counting helps a lot with this. There's easily accessible databases that have detailed data (https://www.nutritionix.com/ https://www.nutritionix.com/, https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/ https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/). It's funny sometimes how the calories you think you're eating don't match up with reality. My biggest blind-spot was pasta and bread, both of which had A LOT more calories than I had thought. Peanut butter is another one-- you can put a ridiculous amount of calories on one spoon of peanut butter. Many folks can lose weight "simply" by sticking to whatever one's BMR + activity level suggests. A sustainable and easy to maintain rate of loss for most folks is between 1 and 2 lbs/week.
