If it you it to the extreme, sure. But the foundation of losing weight in any context is calories in < calories burned.

I tried to get my dad to stop drinking soda for years when I was growing up. Dude drank 8+ cans a day. He finally quit drinking soda, and was for some reason surprised when he started losing weight. Changes as simple as that, just ordering a size down of what you normally would when you do esst fast food, etc. all can add up big time.

I just recently learned about liquid calories and why are they dangerous when you care about weight.

For those who are not aware. A liquid will be processed very quickly by our body. For example you get your favorite soda that has 150 calories your drink it, and your body processes it quickly, you urinate it but the 150 calories stay with you and you feel hungry again really soon so you eat another meal to fill your stomach.

8+ cans a day

Jesus yeah that's 1600 calories right there. Conservatively lol. Talk about a liquid diet.
