How to get enough protein as a vegetarian

Last post got deleted for not being long enough?!? let’s try again.

I am a vegetarian. I am trying to lose circa 10 lbs (23.5 BMI at 145lbs about but want to get a little leaner so the clothes fit better) and want to up my protein to help me do so. It’s hard to get enough protein without meat - I eat tofu, veggie ground round and beans and some eggs and a protein bar once in a while. It hasn’t been enough of a protein punch per calorie.

Any advice on how much protein I should be getting per day (been aiming for 35% of the macro) and what foods I can eat to get more protein?

Thanks!

In case it is not long enough here is another line of text! Imagine it is in the shape of a veggie steak.
