It's pretty simple really. I was fat from around 13 to 30, at 46 now I'm in better shape than I ever was. Whole foods is the key, vegetables like broccoli, onions, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes etc just cut up and cooked up with whatever meats but keep it around 2/3 veggies to 1/3 meat. You can go to town on fresh fruit, but making into pies, jellies or dried fruits should be limited. Similar with nuts and seeds, just eat them whole as is.
Stuff like bread and pasta is fine, but have only a little compared to other things. Drink lots of water and you'll be able to eat as much as you like and in 6 months to a year even if you don't exercise more on top you'll be far slimmer.
