CaloriesIn - CaloriesOut = WeightChange
Fat forms using spare calories. Any diet that involves eating fewer calories than what you burn will reduce your body fat.
As long as you have that part right, you are free to add any other requirements on your diet you wish.

Well, vegan foods with lots of proteins include: Beans, lentils, peas, nuts, peanuts, tofu, soy.
Personal favorites are red lentils (cook pretty quickly and don’t need to be soaked before) and pre-cooked white beans (I just have a jar of those in the fridge and will scoop a spoonful into all kinds of meals).
Proteins are cool, because they stick around in your stomach for a while, but they’re bad at filling you up. For that, salads and veggies are the best. Sometimes, I’ll eat an entire bowl of salad, which is not a lot of calories, but still fills me up.
I would also recommend slowly changing your diet over. Your gut microbiota need time to adjust to a different diet. If you don’t give them that time, they can kill your will pretty effectively.
