Fasting
I am looking at considering fasting to help with me losing weight. Right now I work a scedule where I work evenings 5 days a week and was wondering if it would be a good idea to fast 5pm to 9am? This would only be 5 days a week as on my days off some days mum likes to have dinner with me. Or should I on my days of move my eating window to later in the day and do one work day with a shorter eating window?
Mon/Tue - eating window 12pm-8pm
Wed - eating window 12pm-5pm
Thur-Sun - eating window 9am-5pm

So you could say I 'fast' for about 18 hours, it's not fasting though, it's just that's how I've always eaten, and I don't lose weight. As Barry says, it's the amount you eat not particularly when you eat it.
Intermittent fasting is promoted by some celebrities but it's exactly the opposite of what the NHS recommends:

The NHS advice is stuck in a time warp. Why eat breakfast if you are not hungry?(particularly if breakfast is a bowl of cardboard, sugary cereal? ) You can easily get all your essential nutrients in 2 meals if that's what suits you, your body, when it's convenient for you to eat.
Have "breakfast" at noon and your main meal before heading to work. You'll be fine.
