Yes it is possible.
If you've just graduated then get a job. I know that sounds a bit obvious but that's the first step.
Firstly, do a class 1 medical to see if you can get one. (or go to the CAA website and find out the requirements. Gotchas include nasty asthma, diabetes, colour blindness or bad eyes - you should be young enough not to have to be worrying about high blood pressure, obesity etc)
Work out a budget that's do-able.
You'll need to factor in rent (if you can't live at home), consumables, "play" money and your loan repayment.
Consider a "pay as you go" phone versus a contract.
If you must have a credit card, keep the limit as low as possible & pay it off every month.
See what's left over. Squirrel it away into an account that penalises you for lots of withdrawals.
Nuke your student loans is your first objective.
Once you have your loans under control & you have some cash in your "flying account" begin flight training.
You can start with the theory etc and get a PPL.
Continue working & studying for the rest of the exams and licenses.
Do's and Don'ts summary.
Do research the "hows" thoroughly. This site is a good start.
Do get a medical or at least the above items checked.
Do spend a long time pouring over LASORs on the CAA website.
Don't rush into this game without thinking.
Don't get a massive debt for flying.
Do keep your debt & costs manageable to give you freedom to pause your training or to go any where in the world for that first job.
Do visit airfields to get a feel for the environment.
Do keep positive. It is possible to do it all part time & be successful.
