Push ups in a variety of arm-widths (arms at shoulder-wideth, arms together, arms wider than shoulder width) will do the same as barbells for bench-press exercises. It will also develop the triceps (back of the arm, most essential for punching power). Start off by doing as many as you can. Let us say it is 19 push-ups. Divide that by three, and you get 6+; well, get into the habit of doing 7 push ups four times a day for a week. Then, add three or four push-ups and continue to do for a two or three weeks, and continue to add push-up as you develop endurance and strength (and you'll see the definition to develop).
Start doing stretching exercises (lie on the floor and try to do a bridge as high as you can; do toe touching but do NOT lunge, just reach softly and gently or you might pull a muscle. Do hurdle splits to both sides. Sit on the floor with legs stretched out in front of you and gently lean over and TRY to put your bellybutton on your knees, and keep your chin up and back straight. Do the same with your legs straight but stetched apart and try to put your bellybutton and chin on the floor... even if you can't do it, just make the gentle effort several times a day until you can. Do this before and after you exercise. Practice just hanging from a chining bar (great for the lower back and for shoulder flexibility).
With time, you might want to do pull-ups on a chinning bar (fingers foward, to develop the forearms and chest muscles); add chin-ups for the other muscles of the arm. Do toe-raises in the tub as you shower everyday; start with a count of 60 but make sure that you have your toes pointed inward, facing each other (not facing straight out and not facing away from each other); this will develop the inner calf muscles and the back calf muscles. After a few weeks, add kneee bends but not below the right angle of bend (bad for the knees).
Before you know it, you'll have a routine going and you will want to look into other calesthenics to add. In time, you may want to join a gym and train with a certified trainer who will show you how to use the weights in such a way that you won't injure yourself (and injuring oneself is easier than you think), and will recommend exercises to help you develop uniformly.
Don't forget that a good diet is important; so, avoid junk foods and pastries and sodas and get into the habit of drinking fruit juices instead. Do some homework and find out what foods will promote muscle development. Be informed.
Consider joining a gym and learn some gymnastics; that will help you develop muscles and flexibility!
Good luck and best wishes.

Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span. No food or drink in between the food and not more than three meals a day, unless u r diabetic. EXERCISES WILL HELP U REDUCE THE FLAB. IF U WANT MUSCLE U MUST DO WEIGHT TRAINING.

Use a bench press & weights. Use either a barbell or dumb bells. If you lift or lower the bench to incline or decline you can work the top of your chest lower chest or bulk up the middle.
Dont forget to do some stretching excercises before any workout & warm yourself up. Whats also important, especially for you is to get professional advice from a Dr and a trainer.
Advice from a trainer should be easy for you. Just walk into a gym and ask him for a program for you for building your chest (you have to start gradual)
i use to put a couple of kitchen chairs together and bench press a few heavy things from around the house
