The secret is acknowledging the true purpose of food as fuel rather than entertainment. Focus on protein, fats, and carbohydrates and learn about each of them. A little bit of research online will teach you a lot. Remember, don't diet; change your eating lifestyle. Doing so will change your life for the better. For the exercise, consider it a priority to include it into your routine.
Anyway, if you want it simple, here it is in ten steps:
1. protein is good...eat plenty (about 30% of your caloric intake)
2. fats are good and bad...know the difference
3. saturated and trans fats are the bad ones - limit these
4. poly- and mono-unsaturated fats are good - don't be afraid of them
5. carbohydrates are good and bad...know the difference
6. fibers and complex carbs are the good ones - eat these (about 40% of your caloric intake)
7. sugars and simple carbs are the bad ones - limit these, particularly late in the day (stay away from sodas and chips!)
8. drink water - lots and lots and lots of water. It's the only drink you need. Anything else is either wasted or simply bad for you
9. Eat 4-6 "meals" a day to boost your metabolism.
10. A meal is defined as a portion of a low-fat, protein rich entree, a portion of veggies for vits/mins, and a portion of complex carbs. (You can get these combined as a health shake)
For exercise, it's even simpler:
1. 4-6 hours per week
2. 45-90 min each day you exercise
3. do aerobic exercise (20-40 min) every day you exercise
4. work abdominals every day you exercise (between sets makes it easy)
5. do chest and triceps exercises on one day
6. do back and biceps exercises on a different day
7. do legs and shoulder exercises on a different day
8. do your exercises in sets (i.e. 3 times with 6-12 repetitions each)
9. keep a record of what you do to measure progress.
10. when your progress stalls (called "plateau"), switch up your routine.

I highly suggest you start making a diary of what you eat. Creating a diary can help you track down your eating habits and allow you to adjust it to something that works. I've done this myself and it helped me realize that I was eating way too many fatty foods or foods with high amounts of calories in it. Once you understand your eating patterns you can do something about it!
Then I suggest you get a bit of exercise. Every bit helps! If you drive, park your car farther from the location you need to get to so it forces you to walk. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Do anything to get your body in motion because motion usually equals calorie burning!

My son lost 20Ibs this way. He kinda made this up.
Hope it helps:
-Reduce your eating habits 1st.
-Dont eat too much red meat.
-Eat fish, fruits, and vegetables (but dont overeat them either)
-Do atleast 50-100 curl-ups and push ups every morning.
Jog, but not too fast (Fact:When you jog fast, your body is eating youre protein;In other words, your body is eating itself. But if you jog at a medium rate, the more you burn fat.)
-Lay off soda or anything with sugar. Water will be fine. Green tea is good too.
