It seems you are looking to improve your lifestyle and health decisions.
Becoming healthier is a process and if your mentality is into exercising and eating right, you will reach your goal to lose weight.
Exercise Suggestions (at least 4 times a day):
1. Join Gym, consult with trainer (Use treadmill, elliptical, weights, etc.)
2. Join competitive sport, play sport with friends
3. Buy workout videos (Insanity, P90X)
4. Look up workout videos on Youtube (Tae Bo, Bootcamp, etc.)
5. Exercise outside by running, riding bike, swimming, etc.
Note: Switch up exercises and consider exercising with a friend or family in order to maintain interst, focus, and motivation.
Calories:
To determine the healthy amount of calories for weight loss there are three steps:
STEP 1: Use this formula
For women: 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
For men: 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
STEP 2:
Take the number from the formula and multiply it by-
x 1.375 (Lightly Active - Light exercise, 1-3 days/week
x1.55 (Moderate Exercise 3-5 days/week
x1.7 (Very Active, 6-7 days/week
x1.9 (Extremely Active, Hard daily exercise)
Once you multiply, the number you have is the amount of calories your body needs for weight maintenance
STEP 3
You have to adjust the number from Step 2 depending on weight goals. SInce you want to lose weight, you take the number from step 2 and subtract it by 500 calories
Note: At least 1200 calories for women and 1600 calories for men is required for proper nutrition. Also, you may keep track of weight with bath scale, body fat measurer and BMI measurer.
Food:
1. Keep a food diary in order to keep track of calorie intake (My Fitness Pal app or Lose It app)
2. Plan your meals each week and plan according to how many calories you are allowed to have
3. Avoid fast food, Avoid trans fat foods, Avoid food with no nutrition (McDonalds, chips, gummy worms)
4. Eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits and whole-grain products, lean meats, poultry, fish, beans and low-fat dairy products
5. Drink lots of water
6. Control portions of food you take with a kitchen scale or measuring tools
There is a government website, where you create a profile and are able to determine healthy meal plans.

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.
You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didnt get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.
It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.sexyjese.com - it will blow your mind.
