If I drink only shakes (less than 2K calories) will it tap into stubborn fat?

Long story short, I have fat on my abs and love handles I wanna burn off.

Obviously, people will say I must be eating too many calories. The thing is, I honestly don't see how. My calculations would say otherwise, so clearly my math is bad. Regardless, it is what it is. I'd like to have a least some of this fat slimmed down by a vacation I have in July.

So I was thinking of spending maybe 2-3 weeks on a liquid diet- 200g of protein (5 shakes) each day and thats it. It'd be about 1500 calories daily. It's be commercially made shakes, so the calories and servings each day would be fully controlled. (I'm about 220, I'm guessing I'd need to get to 205 to at least cut the handles down enough to notice).

I don't normally advocate for this type of stuff, but I remember reading about Dana White's water and bone broth diet for 3 days that seemed to work well for him. I don't think I'd try that, but I gotta try something different. So I wanted to see if people more knowledgeable could suggest anything else I might try to boost results/limit drawbacks.

What's the best way to make something like this work? Should I take any supplements (caffeine or 7 Keto or whatever)? Would ab exercises help? (I see this recommended, but I don't see what difference it would make. If spot reduction doesn't exist and I can't build muscle in a deficit (I'm not new to lifting), I imagine ab exercises would be a waste of time, but I'll defer to the board). Anything else I can do to try to get these goals down?

Thanks.

Wtf does this even mean? If you're not losing weight and you want to lose weight, you're eating too many calories. You don't need a math equation to tell you that.

Velocity Diet. Warrior Diet. Dave Draper's Tuna and Water Diet.

Give them a google and a try. Warrior diet I've done with good success and Dave Draper's Tuna and Water Diet was a good kickstart for me too at times. Velocity Diet I have personally never tried but you can youtube Dan John talking about it.
