So, apart from your script not running flawlessly for syntax errors, what doesn't work as desired? Where are you stuck?

I guess the author of the topic is have lost intrest. I suggest to the post to continue life independently Smilie
Code:
#!/bin/bash
declare -i time_diff time_diff_in_mins
A=1557863573
B=1557866394
time_diff=$B-$A
time_diff_in_mins=$time_diff/60
echo $time_diff_in_mins

#install dateutils
Code:
datediff -i "%A %B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S" "Tuesday May 14, 2019 21:52:53" "Tuesday May 14, 2019 22:39:54" -f %M

With GNU date, and a recent bash, and above $time_diff, why not

Code:
date -d"@$((time_diff - 3600))" +%T
00:47:01

to get the HH:MM:SS format? Notabene: will fail at negative time differences or those larger than 23:59:59.
