I have actually cut back on beer, too. I cut out all weekday drinking and save it for Friday or Saturday
If true, unless you're drinking a 12 pack of dark beer, then this isn't the problem in my opinion.

It isn't a perfect diet, but my goal on the weekends is to stay under 3000 calories
I'm assuming you mean 3,000 calories over the entire weekend, not per day on the weekend?
As far as beer, and you said some Ghost beers. You are looking at around 250 calories per beer. So a 6-pack is about 1,500 calories just on beer alone. You haven't said exactly how much you drink, so I don't know. If you are drinking a 6-pack, maybe start off by cutting it to 4 beers on Friday and Saturday night. Or just eat lower-calorie dishes on the days you drink. If you really enjoy your beer, drink your beer. If you are keeping it to only Friday and Saturday nights, I disagree with others saying you have a drinking problem. I know what a drinking problem really is, and it's not knocking a few beers back on the weekend. I don't drink much nowadays, thankfully. Don't aim for 20lbs, just change your process up more. Maybe you aren't working out enough and just don't realize it.

I have a walking pad and do 20-30 minutes each day, and I work out at home 2-3x a week (up to 40lbs of dumbbells).
Why is it y'all are so opposed to joining a gym and doing actual strength training? A walking pad for 20 minutes a day with that diet and beer consumption?
If you're trying to lose weight, why half arse it? What's the point? Commit and choose your hard, you'll be happy you did

Look baw, at 6'1 and 245, you’ve got a solid frame, but you're probably carrying about 40 lbs of 'life' that needs to go. The IF and walking is a great start, but the reason most guys our age fail isn't a lack of willpower, it’s decision fatigue.
You get home after a long day, you're tired, and 'winging it' on a low-carb dinner leads to overeating. I found that the only way to stay consistent was to remove the choice entirely during the day.
I’ve been using the Shake That Weight plan for my breakfast and lunch. It’s a UK-based system but it’s the most clinical way to handle it.
200 calories, high protein, and all your vitamins/minerals are already boxed up. It leaves you with enough 'calorie room' to eat a normal dinner with the family without blowing your deficit. Keep hitting those steps, but tighten up the intake math and the weight will fall off.

Probably an additional 30-40 tbh. Doesn’t sound like he has a ton of muscle

I just counted everything I ate and figured out how to tailor it to my limits for my goal weight. I didn't do anything special. Eating more protein helped ease the cravings. Haven't had to worry about my diet in almost a decade.
