I wonder what foods are being eaten. With many foods, a person can't get ahead unless they abandon them.
That's not necessarily true. All foods can fit into a healthy diet, but we've already seen the diet culture minefield that this thread has become. Some foods are more nutritious than others, some foods are more filling than others, some foods are more satisfying than others. OP has to figure out what he wants to eat to get the results he wants, but that has more to do than what he can stick with in the long term, rather than recommending starvation, deprivation, or avoiding perfectly valid nutrients that some consider "poison."

Certain foods for certain people will not work, due to their personal metabolism, allergic and irritating responses, and body sensitivities. We can't force all foods for all people in all situations. That's basic medical and nutritional fact. We can't force something on the body that it can't handle, and magically hope everything will be fine, just because it is a food and others can eat it with no problem.

In other words, I cut my calories in half at the very least.
There is no way you cut your calories in half and are the same weight. That's physically impossible. You are either vaguely estimating it or tracking it incorrectly.
You need more precise measurements. Use measuring cups and a food scale, and track everything. Including sauces, beverages, condiments, small snacks, etc.
Calories are calories. It doesn't matter if you only eat between 1 and 7pm. If you're not at a caloric deficit, it doesn't matter what window of time you eat in.
Less processed food is fine, but you need to track calories and grams of protein every day. Not just the names of the foods you eat.
You don't have to have to sacrifice your favorite food either. You can just eat what you normally eat, but measure it out at lower portion sizes. Eating foods you don't genuinely like is what causes people to abandon diets. Consistency is important. Gradual weight loss eating foods you enjoy is better than torturing yourself and then giving up.
Try eating WELL, and exercising efficiently, instead of eating sparse and walking 1.5-3 hours a day.
Gnocci and fruit are almost all carbs. There's very little protein in gnocci and fruit, and no fat in either. There is some nutritional benefit to fruit, but fruit isn't a balanced diet, and gnocci isn't on any diet that I know of, at all. It's just potato pasta.
Try fruit AND veggies, and an actual potato instead of potato gnocci. Bake it (or nuke it), sprinkle some parmesan cheese on it with some garlic and a drizzle of olive oil, and you have an actual meal. Eat the skin.
Surely you haven't spent your entire life -not- learning about nutrition?
