In a jam jar I put a scoop of oats, teaspoon of chia seeds, scoop of Greek yoghurt, oat milk and a teaspoon of raw honey (local supplier so no sugar added).

I'll be adding 2 chopped strawberries to it.

I'm trying to be healthier and would like to lose weight.

I am clueless.

I'm always hungry and craving carbs foods and sugar.

Agree with @Angrymum22 . Full fat dairy is way better than fat free and keeps you full for longer. Fat is not your enemy! Eat fat to lose fat and all that!

i suggest you research your nutritional needs based on your age (might be more protein, fat or fiber as we age things change).
then i would get comfy with either the nutracheck or cronometer websites (not my fitness pal) and learn more about what benefits are found in each food source.
personally an almond tree makes nuts not milk, the tree is not tapped like a maple for syrup, it's processed and dubious (some people make their own which is slightly better). yoghurt again in order to get the 0 stuff to hold together and taste better than water again "stuff" is added stuff that is well known to be unhelpful to dieting or your health.
food is fuel and indeed meant to be enjoyed and helpful to our bodies.
a nice chia seed pudding/overnight oats are a great way to start the day or have as a dessert.
honey ;), i'm partial as my dh is a bee keeper who follows organic practices. it's a great pre-biotic, which is good for gut health.

Two fried eggs on a piece of toast would be better for you, and would come in at about 240 kcals.

Your breakfast sounds like a good start! Let's break it down:

Oats: A great source of fiber and complex carbohydrates, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Chia seeds: Rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats, which also contribute to satiety and overall health.
Greek yogurt: High in protein, which helps with muscle repair and can keep you feeling full for longer.
Oat milk: A dairy-free alternative with some added vitamins and minerals, though be mindful of added sugars if it's a flavored variety.
Raw honey: While it's natural sugar, it's still sugar, so be mindful of the portion size. The local aspect is great though, as it may contain pollen that can help with allergies.
Adding chopped strawberries not only increases the nutritional value but also adds natural sweetness without added sugars.

If you're constantly hungry and craving carbs and sugar, consider increasing your protein intake at breakfast to help keep you fuller for longer. You could also try adding more fiber-rich foods like nuts, seeds, or more fruits and vegetables to your meals. And make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day, as thirst can sometimes be mistaken for hunger.

Overall, your breakfast seems like a nutritious choice, but you may want to adjust the portion sizes or add more protein and fiber to help with hunger and cravings. Keep experimenting and finding what works best for you!
