Answer: Well it all depends on your daily active level. Are you working out 2 hours a day or are you just sitting at your desk all day. If you give more information about your daily activity levels and daily calorie intake.

Answer:

It depends on how many calories you burn. To lose 1 pound of fat, it takes a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories. To lose 20 pounds in 3 months, you would have to burn about 780 more calories per day than you consume.

A deficit of 780 calories per day is almost impossible to do by simply reducing calorie intake; attempting to do that would send your body into starvation mode, which would cause your weight to rebound as soon as you resume a normal, healthy diet. The only way to accomplish that rate of weight loss (and not simply rebound) is by increasing the number of calories you burn every day.
