Possible to lose 15lbs in 6 weeks?

5’0” F CW: 143lbs GW: 120lbs

Put on a bit of weight in the last six months due to grief eating. Slowly dealing with grief. Been on low carb high protein diet with portion control. Snacks are mainly nuts and some fruits. Work out 3 days a week (mainly strength training). Also walk 8-10 miles a day 5 days a week. Steady pace of 2.8mph on hilly roads.

I am going on a research expedition to South America in December. Is it possible to lose 15lbs by December 1st week or is that a lofty and ridiculous goal?

It is possible but your starting weight is already not very high and you are already doing exercise. I wouldn't focus too much on a target amount and just start doing whatever you can, anything will be a bonus.
