What is the right diet plan for losing weight?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 25 years old with 171 lbs in weight, a height of 5.6 feet, and a BMI (body mass index) of 26. I am a computer engineer. I do not eat junk food and play badminton every evening. As I follow a sedentary lifestyle, I look obese. I came across the keto diet, Mediterranean diet, intermittent fasting, and paleo diet through the internet. Which is the right diet plan for me to lose weight?
