Do you really need both legs? No seriously, keto diet, about 1500 calories a day, not a single calorie after 4pm, a gallon of water a day, an hour of decent exercise a day, and sleep at least 8 hours a night at the same time every day.

Yep, eliminating all carbs will easily do this. No starches taters, rice, no grains, and cut the sugar out completely as well. Get on a one meal per day plan as the fasting accelerates weight/lard ass loss.
Remember that carbs are carbs are carbs. Sugar is sugar is sugar. Your body cannot distinguish sugar or an carb from from fruit, veggies, or candy and soda. Fructose, glucose, sucrose it doesn't matter as it's all sugar and your liver and pancreas secrete insulin as an response to it.
You can eat plenty of meat and fat and veggies like broccoli cauliflower Brussel sprouts asparagus. Stuff like peas, corn, carrots, taters, shouldn't be consumed if you want to dump weight. Your body doesn't need any carb intake to have brain function as our bodies make enough sugars for function. The moat important number to count isn't calories it's actually carbs and the easy access to process foods and sugars. We don't need them but unfortunately doctors and dieticians are poorly educated on diet, diabetes and what fuels the body.

A medicine named Ozempic can help. Not that much weight loss that fast, but it is a useful tool, in addition to previous advice.

When my SIL was in the army he had to loose a few pounds or get the boot. Those guys would take more than the directed amounts of laxatives days before weigh in. He never left the bathroom for awhile he said.

keto will do it if you are dedicated, but in the time frame you are talking about, I'd also start walking 3-5 miles a day too
I lost 25 pound in 40 days on keto combined with walking and weight training starting back in April

keto lets you eat, but you have to load up on the right foods.

It is really a simple matter of calories in vs calories out. Don't eat till you are stuffed, only till you are satisfied. Don't eat late and go to bed. I am in the process of dropping weight myself and these are some of the things I have done. Other things are making choices like grilled vs fried, unsweet tea vs sweet tea, red meat only 2 times a week, more chicken, fish, and turkey. I am down 25 lbs in since June but I am not trying to drop 40/60 days.

I'm currently down 40 lbs in the past 60 days, but I wouldn't recommend the method.

Cut the carbs. Weights and cardio at least 4 days a week.

Gents:
Pursuing an upgraded LEO gig in a different state from my last one, but need to lose 40 lbs in 60 days. That and pass the PAT (which I aced a couple years ago).
Other than starve, any suggestions? I'm motivated: This is a plan A item for me with no desirable alternatives. I have discipline, so with a good plan can execute.
Recommendations? I haven't read the other responses, so this may be a repeat. And I don't know your age and height Background on me: I have been (and are currently again - ranked in top 10 in the US in my events and age group) a competitive athlete, also MD, so I know both by experience and training. In simple: to drop weight calories in need to be less than calories out. Best way to do that is improve nutrition quality and muscle mass. Muscle will increase basic metabolic rate at rest. Protein load should be about 40-50% of your intake, fats 30%, carbs 20ish... of course that is high quality fats and complex carbs. You can choose how to combine them What will truly melt the fat away is strength training, and I am not talking about wimpy dumbell reps. I am talking about squats, deadlifts, bench press, barbell rows, military press complex movements for large muscle groups. 3-4 Sets of 12-15 resp with 65-70% of your 1 rep max (you need to figure that out). If you do that conditioning for 4 weeks, and then increase weight and drop reps to increase intensity it will potentiate muscle development. Since you know your target date plan could look like this (I recommend 3x week at least) should take 45min to 1h . Other days you can do some cardio : bike, jog, swim, heavy bag, HIIT, etc, keep heart rate 160s 4 weeks 4x12-15 reps 70% of 1RM (Squats, Bench, Rows, Deadlift - can add shoulder and other muscles + core work) 1 week 4x8 reps 80% of 1RM 1 week 4x4-6 reps 85% of 1RM 1 week 4x3-4 reps 85-90% of 1RM 1 week 4 sets with dropping reps (3-2-1-1) up to your max rep. Fat will melt away, and more significantly in the last weeks when you increase the weightload and drop the reps. Worst case scenario, dehydrate yourself the day of weight-in Remember, muscle is built on the gym, but abs are made in the kitchen. If you weork your ass off in the gym, but don't eat healthy, you will look like a strongman, but may not get leaner and drop the weight you want. Happy to answer PMs if you want.

Keto...
Fat makes you less hungry, so its easier to eat less and keeps your blood sugar more stable.
Just eating less but with carbs, leaves you hungry and your blood sugar fluctuating constanlty which sucks (at least for me).
And like Sponxx said, weightlifting activating the largest muscle groups will burn most fat in the long run.

Forgot to add, the diet you choose should be something you can continue doing, otherwise weight will come back
