Cardio doesn't really do much for weight loss for me.
I went from doing 0 exercise at all to 3x 30min jog a week, with no change in diet and it took me 3 months to lose ~4 pounds.
I had a stomach virus 3 weeks ago, had a low fat diet as a result and with 5x 30min body weight "workouts" a week (UFC personal trainer lolol) and have dropped about 12 pounds since.
I was eating 2 slices of toast for breakfast, two sandwiches with vegetables for lunch, and 1 head of broccoli for dinner.
It was an extreme diet change for a week but tbh I felt like shit eating anything else with any fat in it. It's gotten a bit more normal now, but I still try to limit my fat intake just because I'm fucking paranoid about getting the sick again.

There is a disease I caught that helped me do 15 in a few days and I did the rest through starvation dieting.
good luck.
edit: it seems you want to be in shape more than skinny. Just get in shape it's healthier.
I'm not fucking around. I really dropped 15 in 4 days. It wasn't fun or healthy. But I'm sure there are illegal ways of inducing similar effect.

Some UFC fighters drop 50 pounds in a week, it's possible.
But not healthy ofcourse.
50 pounds? No way in hell man. Even if we said that was 30 pounds of water weight and stuff inside your gut and such, there is no way in hell he is dropping 20 legit pounds in a week. Not to mention doing so would absolutely destroy his fitness.

I could understand losing weight that fast to meet some sort of weight cutoff for wrestling/MMA/boxing, but even if you did manage to lose it it wouldn't help you out in the least bit for tennis. You'd just end up hurting yourself both short term and long term, and you should probably just set a better goal like 10 lbs which actually would help you out much more.

I basically removed sugary fluids out of my diet (99% drink water or milk nowadays) and dropped 10 pounds because of it. don't remember the timeframe for the weight loss but I'd estimate it was somewhere between 1-3 months.
I was already skinny too. went from 145 pounds to 135 pounds and am 5' 10".
didn't change my diet to lose weight though. did it because my teeth are crap and losing the 10 pounds just ended up happening.

How heavy are you? If you're like 200kg+, you could probably lose like 50kg in liposuction if you're willing to spend the cash.
I'm 5'' 11' and around 190 lbs (86 kg) so yeah, not gonna happen. I just wanna drop to 160 cause I used to play at 150 when I was playing my best, and now I'm probably hitting better than ever but I'm really really slow. I'm definitely doing high rep medium weight for weight training right now, don't wanna get buff or anything. I'll probably extend the weight training portion and try to do 60min weight training sessions instead of the 45 min ones I'm doing right now.

Have you tried looking at the Health and Fitness sub forum yet? A lot of good information there to help you lose weight.
Good luck in you endeavor though, I lifted weights and lost a few pounds but mostly changed my body composition.

Getting buff is like 90% diet. You could train for crazy hypertrophy but if your eating to lose weight your not going to pack on tons of muscle. Any muscle you do put on will be a "fat -> muscle" conversion anyway which is only going to make you stronger and quicker.

I just recently lost 30 pounds in 2 months, but it wasn't in a very healthy manner i suppose. I had recently been prescribed adderall and found that I had to force myself to eat, otherwise i just wouldn't do it. I drank 3-4 liters of water and 4-5 coke zeroes a day and basically only ate low-fat string cheese and almonds except for weekends when I would eat some chicken.
You sound much more healthy than I was though so i doubt this could work for you  . I started at 198 pounds, 5 foot 11 inches and I ended at 168 pounds. I spent the entire time studying and doing zero physical activity other than walking to and from classes + the dogs for 15ish minutes a day.
Now I eat a lot more but my body never lets me go above 172 pounds.

Biologically speaking this isn't true. Fat doesn't turn into muscle. Fat deposits shrink and muscle mass increases. These two processes are not entirely independent, but at no point does a fat cell become a muscle cell or vice versa.
