Can someone explain how to cut a circle out of this circle?

Question

I have this circle:

And i'm trying to cut another circle out of the center of it, roughly in a shape like this:

I've looked all over the internet, but I couldn't find anything. The only tutorial I could find about this was made in 2013, so it was a much earlier version of Blender that I couldn't follow along with. I started using Blender yesterday. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

you can inset your selection (i), scale on the X axis to make the inner circle oval, then select the oval face and press X > Delete Only Face — moonboots, Jan 06 '21 at 11:59
didnt you try to select the top side vertices of the cylinder while in edit mode then do copy and then scale it to the size you want using the S Key — user114209, Jan 06 '21 at 13:09

Select the object that will be the "hole" in the 2nd object,
Shift + select the target object.
Tab to enter edit mode
Numpad 7 to go to top view (the cut will be projected so the view is important).
Enter edit mode with both selected, go to mesh, knife project.
Then just remove the resulting face.
