Do you own a food scale?
I guess if you REALLY asked me I'd say you have a choice. And it also depends very strongly on where you're coming from .
I personally was a lightweight from the beginning... a very frustrated person regarding weight and diabetes but not hundreds of pounds overweight.
In the end I think you need to ask for advice your specific peers who succeeded before you and are still successful .
We're not all in exactly the same boat physically and losing and permanently keeping off many lbs is a HUGE thing .

Do you use it often? I bought a food scale, but im not sure when to use it. Should I return it or just get into the habit of using it? Am I meant to use it for portion control? Do I use it to control my vegetable intake? I bought it to weigh out my food, but I don't know if I weigh it after I cook it or before. It's a cool gadget, but I don't know what I'm doing.
I do own a food scale and I love it! I would try and get in the habit.. I like knowing how much I put in my body. I use an app to track my macros and it has absolutely helped keep me in check. I even take it on vacations. I was taught to weigh your portions before cooking. Foods shrink a bit, but not too much.
