I was involved in a big accident, 5 years ago, after the first two and a half years of recovery I gained about 25 kg due to physical inactivity. At that time I bought a recumbant rowingbike, adjusted for me (handicapped after the accident) and lost abt 14 kg in the first 6 weeks and another 15 in the 3 months after that. It fellt great and still does, and I'm still the same weight.
Remember that you don't only lose fat. You also lose water and, if you don't exercise, muscle.
To lose one kg of pure fat a week would be a really, really good result.

Well, RDA for sugar is about 100g/day. But that includes ALL sugar, including milk-sugar and fructose consumed in fruit/veggies.
But as long as your diet includes all the nutritients you need, is balanced and matched with a bit of exercise, your sugar cubes aren't that bad.
There's no such thing as bad food. There's only an imbalanced diet. Going to the nearest fast-food parlour eating the XXL menu isn't bad once a month. Not even if matched with soda. Doing it one a week is.
Having a bit of candy (you should consider your surared coffee like candy) a day isn't bad.
I wouldn't be overly concerned with losing a little muscle mass, that is more an issue for bodybuilders/athletes making a cut
A calorie controlled diet plus increasing exercise is pretty much a full proof plan.
