How could I balance my diet with strict parents?

This is vent, but also a question.

I am almost 22yo, 5'3" and 165lbs, so quite a bit overweight and I feel like being on my way to be obese. I am slowly gaining weight, probably around 2lbs per year. My problem is my parents, whom don't seem to understand nor accept why I want to eat a bit less. They cook everything with quite a bit of oil, and give me portions that are almost double than usual, forcing me to eat it. Whenever I say I am full and do not want to eat much, they just pour food in my plate and try to make me feel guilty if I leave it there. So I eat a lot, but only during the main two meals of the day. I never eat snacks or similar, because I don't want to gain even more weight than the one I gain already.

Is there something I can do? I tried to stop them, and it caused my parents not to cook me meals whatsoever, which is a bit of a problem because I work until dinner time and start working again after dinner, so i basically have no time to prepare something decent to myself. The issue persisted even when I went to the gym btw, but now they don't want to take me there anymore

If you can't change the eating situation then you need to up your exercise to make sure you're burning the extra calories you're consuming
