find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

You need to have the five components of fitness down. The first component is nutrition and it will be your most important. 45-65% of your total calorie intake should be from Carbohydrates, you should try to mainly eat complex carbs that are high in fiber. 15-25% of your caloric intake is from protein try to pick leaner meats and 10-15% should be from fats try to avoid Saturated fat and stick to your polyunsaturated fats they are the best for you. Most body builders reccomend eating more of your Carbs in the morning, they will give you energy for the day and proteins more towards the end of the day to rebuild the damaged tissue. However, it is important to note that your meals should have a certain combo to them as carbs are an energy giving food fat and protein help with saiety no point in feeling hungry right after a meal. Your second component is Cardio you can do this almost every day start off small and get as much out of a short duration and low intensity as possible try for about a 20 min bout to start with, always increase your intensity before your duration as you show improvement in conditioning. The third component is resistance training without adding to your muscle mass your hard work will be for not, more muscle means a faster resting metabolic rate and you will have more energy. You should start with a simple full body routine 1 to 2 sets of 12-15 reps at 60-70% intenstiy at a 3-2-1 tempo for about 3-5 weeks before changeing phases. The fourth component is supplementation there is no magic pill but it can be a great aid to your overall routine. Beware the marketing boogey man for they will take advantage of you. Pyruvate is a good safe non-central nervous system stimulate to take a look at. But, you were interested in more energy so you can look at red line if you want a good caffeine dose. The fifth component is assistance, get a weightloss buddy or even consider hiring a personal trainer it can make a lot of difference. Good luck to you.

Just the boring answer: begin by being more aware of your food intake, drink plenty of water (that is major!) and try to increase your exercise or begin a program. Not only looking good, but the real issue here is to be healthier and live longer for your loved ones and YOU!
