When we say "on a diet" we pretty much always mean we want to lose weight, so this is grammatically correct but a native would be really unlikely to say it.

After they had had dinner, Toby walked Kate to her home.

When Kate said goodbye, Toby didn't go.

He asked to come in for a drink.

While they were talking and watching tvTV on the sofa, Kevin burst in.

"tv" is okay in really informal writing like a text message, but we usually capitalise it.

He held a bottle of wine, and he was obviously drunk.

Kate hadn't checked her phone so she didn't know that Kevin had quit tThe Manny sShow.

I think this is a TV show, or something like it? We'd put the whole thing in title case if so.
