Possibly: Weight loss occurs when calories lost is higher than calories taken in. A general rule of thumb is you have to burn about 3500 calories more than you take in to lose one pound of fat. 4 months is about 120 days, which would mean about one half pound per day would get you past your goal; which would then mean ideally you would expend about 1700 calories more than you take in, an ambitious goal.

Maybe a little too.: Too much in too little of a time, doing too little. It would be safer and the potential for success would be greater by seeking an expert opinion for a program based on your personal situation.
