To lose 20 pounds, it would realistically take 1 week to lose 1 to 2 pounds, so 10-20 weeks (or 2-4 months) to lose the weight. However, that said, it could go more quickly than that as well.

Welcome to manhood and reduced metabolism :-) Ideally, 2lbs. per week is a healthy, normal weight loss. So in your case, about 2 months. Be careful with the all protein thing, high protein diets can affect liver function and it's better just to avoid high fat foods and limit your calorie intake overall. *Anyone* can lose weight by exercising and reducing calorie intake. The difference is being able to keep it off and that means staying on a healthy and normal - that's sustainable - once you reach your goal weight. That's most likely why you regained the weight. Good luck!
