1. check out books and videos of different styles BEFORE you sign a contract with a school.
2. Visit many many schools of different styles, to see which one feels right for you (and which schools seem legit. HINT: a school that offers you a "Black Belt contract" - usually 4 years and $1600+ is NOT legit).
3. Sign up for FREE month or for pay-as-you go classes at the Y.
4. Do a lot of cardio and stretching, to get in shape.

Short answer: No, it's not too late to start. That question's been asked a lot here, using almost identical wording. Search for the past questions. My son took traditional martial arts since he was about 9 years old. He got into wrestling when he entered high school at age 15. That pretty much parallels you--all you have to do at this point, per his schedule, is jump into wrestling.) A year later he started grappling. He just turned 19. He's winning regional matches in both jiu jitsu and grappling. He's beating guys who were state wrestling champs in high school and competed in college. And he's getting a couple of brown belts to tap out in grappling. What he's done is maybe a bit difficult--it took a huge amount of work and dedication--but not impossible at all. If you want it, you can do it. It's not too late.

Start walking or jogging 20-30 minutes a day. Stretch daily. Practice deep breathing. Use your stomach to breath.
Start doing push ups, sit ups, crunches and leg lifts. Isometric exercies are good.

It's not that complicated.
1) Find a good school.
2) Enroll.
3) Start classes.
Don't make things more complicated than they have to be.

skipping (not jack and jill skipping, but with rope)
hill sprint relays. these increase your endurance and stamina to a huge degree, and recovery times during exercise. this is essential when training to allow you to be better able to recover between activities to allow you to enter the new one with vigor.
must be a steep hill!
push ups
sit ups
