Food addiction

I am addicted to food. Without a doubt.
In the last few days I have eaten without restriction and sought fullness several times a day (3 times a day maybe with one or two snacks).

I am happier. But I am overweight and I need to lose weight.

How the fuck do I do this? As soon as I restrict it massively impacts my mental health.

I know I have a psychological attachment to food and it probably provides 90% of the dopamine, Serotonin and oxytocin that I need daily.

Hunger is such a strong driver for me and I find it so hard to cope with feelings of hunger.

Please can anyone direct me to books or types of therapy that I need to break this?

Thanks
