You can learn to lose the dependence on sugar.
I grew up on a diet of 50% sweets and 20% pop. But over the past few years, slight avoidance of sugary stuff has made me lose my sweet tooth completely. Seriously, I used to put 4 dessert spoons of sugar on my frosties!
But these days I actually find drinking normal milk as sweet and delicious as I used to find ice cream.
Also bear in mind that you are at a pretty healthy/typical bodyfat level now. If you want to drop the percentage without starving yourself, a better tactic might be to increase lean body mass. If you attempt to put on weight while using extra protein sources and weight training. Your lean mass will go up and fat will stay the same, reducing BF percentage and making you look much more lean and atheltic looking.
A couple years ago I used to weigh 64kg and I looked weak and very pudgy, had big love handles and all that. It took me only a few months to go up to 77kg or so and I look much less pudgy now. I am aiming for 90kg.
