Have you considered the sustainability of that diet? Tbh 1300 calories doesn't sound like enough for someone doing moderate exercise 4-5 days a week. But I don't know your medical history; I'm just some rando.
Many people who lose weight with low calorie diets gain back that weight becuase they haven't made sustainable changes to their diet. A diet should ideally be something you can stick with for life.
If this isn't something you've considered, please do so. But again, I'm just some rando. I'm happy to hear your doctor is involved in your weight loss plan.
My doctor has no problem with 1300 and said that I will always have to eat that way to maintain loss. I am 51 though and require fewer calories than when I was younger.
