Any recommendations for any of these pre-made mean plans?

Okay so right now I'm 200 lbs, and I was looking to maybe lose 10-20 pounds of belly fat, nothing extremely substantial. I started working out every day this week again, and now I need to start eating better (and drinking too). I did a little research on some of these pre-made meal plans, and I thought it would be a good idea to try it. I hate cooking so popping it in the microwave is easy enough and all the food looks good.
These were some of the ones I was looking at:
MegaFit
FlexPro
Freshly
Dinnerly
HelloFresh
BistroMd
etc.
It's harder than I thought cuz I thought I'd find one that stands out, but I can't pick a favorite. Any of yall tried any of these, or any other ones? If so, do you recommend it and which ones did you like?

You dont consider 10% of your body weight substantial?

First off - switch your mental model. You should start eating better first. Then caloric deficit. Then working out.
As far as meal plans, I’ve only done Hello Fresh. It was one of the boxes you have to cook yourself, and it was good but I might as well have gone to the grocery store for cheaper ingredients.
I imagine any of them will work to achieve your goal of losing 20 pounds as long as you track the calories meticulously. Prepackaged foods can be a really easy way to do that if it removes the guesswork of portion sizes.

That was one thing I noticed that I liked.

I’ve eaten Freshly, Factor and Megafit. Never ordered any for myself however.
Based off nutritional value / goal oriented thinking, I’d go with megafit personally. Has “clean” options that you should likely stick to.
I went from 27% body fat to 11% body fat and gained roughly 15 lbs of muscle in 9 months with daily weight training and counting macros.
Prioritize protein equal to or greater than body weight, fill in the rest of your calories however you want, just stay in a ~10% deficit.
Obviously you can’t realistically fill in the remaining calories with Twix.
I burned myself out eating salmon and rice 4x / day, then chicken and rice 4x / day.
I still do chicken and rice frequently. Also a lot of 93/7 ground turkey

Trifecta meals are good.

Thanks. I'll check that one out.

HelloFresh
The wife and I pretty much do all of our dinners through HelloFresh now. They're not really pop in the oven ready but it usually doesn't take more than 30 or 35 minutes to prepare them.

Idk about any of the others but recently tried MegaFit and actually just placed my second order this past weekend. The chicken and steak are delicious and their homemade honey mustard was amazing. Probably going to stick with them for a while
ETA: customer service responded extremely quickly/was very helpful with a question I had. I’ve tried Icon before and wasn’t impressed. That may just be me though
