    public void oppositelad(){

     int g = 1;
     
     char f = '#';
     
    while (g <= 5){
        int r= 1;
        while(r <= g){
            System.out.print(f);
            r += 1;
        }
        g += 1;
        System.out.println();
    }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        oppositeloop n = new oppositeloop();
        
        n.oppositelad();
        
    }
    
}

Try:

    // How many lines to print
    for (int i = 4; i > 0; i--) {
      // How many '#' to print in that line
      for (int j = 0; j < 2 * i - 1; j++) {
         System.out.print("#");
      }
      // To next line
      System.out.print("\n");
    }
