10kg is 3 months is definitely doable.
Given the popularity of intermittent fasting, and how effective it is for some people, I don't think you're causing 'storage' by not eating.
The main problem for people who don't eat breakfast is that they often get into a habit of eating loads of crap snacks, overeat at lunch and eat biscuits at their office desk.I wouldn't force yourself to eat breakfast if you don't normally. If you're aiming to lose weight, adding extra food is unlikely to help.
I would eat lunch earlier though, maybe 12pm.
Soups don't fill me up, and I'm hungry within 20 minutes. Maybe I'm mentally conditioned that soup is almost always a starter (unless there are noodles in it).
Shop bought sandwiches are generally ok, the crisps/chocolate and smoothie you get in the meal deal, not so much.I'd have a reasonably healthy snack between lunch and dinner (high protein, or decent serving of fruit), and eat your normal gousto dinner.
Exercising regularly again will make a bit difference, though you will feel a lot hungrier.
Have chocolate as a treat one day of the week, eat

Heaviest I've ever been at 110KG, so just bought the lightest bike I've ever had to create equilibrium. I'm going to need to get on it (the bike) this year - had a wobble last year due to club member death and and personal incident on a ride immediately after, which was meant to be the ride to convince myself the road was safe.
Having been in the fortunate position of maintaining weight before I don't actually know how to lose it. I'd like to get down to the magic 100kg. I'm hoping 3 months is achievable.
POA:
Breakfast - I've never really eaten it, but guess 14hrs between dinner and lunch is causing 'storage'.
Lunch - Eat less. Having not eaten for hours I'm usually starving and pig out. Soup, and other stuff that isn't a shop bought sarnie!
Dinner - Continue Gousto - found this really good for portioning and general wife life, shared cooking etc.
Exercise - It's going to be strange starting from 'nothing' but I'm just going to head into the woods sans Garmin for the next 3 months and see what the numbers are in March. My obsession with data is not going to do much good for me at this stage.
Now if I hadn't got 10KG of chocolate and a toastie maker for xmas... sigh.
