Help figuring out the logistics for a seemingly simple problem before I leave Turkey and go back to India

Hello everyone, I am from India and currently in Turkey for few days with my parents. This might sound silly but please help me out.

Before I go back to India, I want help in figuring out the logistics to buy some good sweets at a decent price. Right now, I am in Antalya and I have my flight to Istanbul on 28th Oct that will land in Istanbul at 11AM at Sabiha Gokcen SAW airport and can reach the city by 12 PM. I have my flight back to India from IST airport at 7PM on 28th October, for which I need to reach the airport at 4PM since International flight (3 hours gap is recommended) and leave for airport from the city by 3PM. So, I have only 3 hours to buy some sweets and Baklava flavored chocolate Damak by Nestle with the following constraints(I have heard that locals do not like this chocolate, but I want to take some home).

Constraints: 1) I cannot buy anything in Antalya - as my internal domestic flight only has 15kg allowance in luggage which our luggage is already 14.8 kgs for all 3 people (me and my parents), but I have 23kg allowance in my flight back to India form Istanbul 2) All 3 of us will have 2 bags (1 luggage and 1 hand bag) - so my father is adamant that he doesn't want to go and buy sweets with carrying all of that heavy luggage with us - which I understand is a valid point, but is there any way to resolve this? Like can i put my luggage somewhere for 2 hours and then take it back once shopping is done? or some other solution like this 3) We only have a duration of 3 hours to do everything and leave for airport once we buy everything 4) What place should we go and buy? I want to buy Turkish delight and/or baklawa, but which place would you recommend to buy Turkish delight because mostly it is very costly and looks the same, so idk which place is ideal to buy. Is it recommended to take Baklava on international flight? Will it still be eatable once I reach India? I don't want to buy from airport because it will be costly there as well.

I understand that this might sound very foolish to ask, but please help me figure this out as my father is very adamant about the luggage situation and chances are I might be heading back to India without taking any Turkish sweets.
