1. I’ve lost weight by 1.5kg since I started diet in March.
"I’ve lost 1.5kg since I started dieting in March."
"I’ve lost 1.5kg since I started a diet in March."
"I’ve lost 1.5kg since I started to diet in March."
2. I cleaned up my room. It made me feel refreshed.
"I've cleaned up my room. It made me feel refreshed." (If it is a recent event, I would use the present perfect tense "have cleaned")
3. I drove on the public road for the first time in these 7 years.
"I drove on a public road for the first time in these 7 years." - unless there is a specific road called "public road", you should use the article "a".
