Tips for Defeating Lust

So my whole life I’ve struggled with being overly lustful & I’ve been working to beat a porn addiction for a few months now. It’s also just generally difficult with day to day relationships when I can’t help but see many female friends of mine as being “attractive”. It makes it very hard to be mindful in my present moment as well. This isn’t that surprising as I’m a 20 year old man, but I wondered if there are any mindful practices or Buddhist teachings which could help me out!
