Hello and thank you for your question.
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to make him eat differently. The best you can do is show him by example what a good diet looks like. Small portions, low carbohydrate content.
Exercise and diet are the keys to healthy and a good body weight. Unfortunately at 18 years old if you are constantly giving him advice about losing weight it may have the opposite effect. Just love him and show him by example what a good diet and exercise regimen looks like.
