My friend has been starving himself and vomiting up his food consistently for the past 2 years i’d say, he’s about 65kg whilst being around 6’1, i try to tell him that it’s bad for your health and that sooner or later he’ll just put the weight back on again anyway, but he hasn’t, he’s stayed being relatively skinny and there has been no changes in his behaviour or personality in fact i’d say he’s much happier than he’s ever been.

“Starving yourself” is the only real way to lose weight. The question is just how you do it. Eating less or not eating at all for a period of time(fasting). Not bad unless you go crazy with it. Which, given your friend’s history, he probably is.
You can lessen the pain with hydration, cutting carbs (and sugar) so you will be less hungry and eating stuff that makes you feel full(protein and fats).
Vomiting food to try to lose weight, on the other hand, is an eating disorder called bulimia. It hurts the esophagus (to the point that some people get cancer) and *absolutely wrecks* teeth.
Your friend needs psychological counseling.
