These are tips from a lazy non fitness buff who once gained weight and then had to lose it.
Most of these come from personal experience and some research.
Lifting weights and doing cardio is fine and dandy, but in the end losing weight is just about being in a caloric deficit. As long as you eat fewer calories than you consume, you are going to lose body fat. If you eat under 2000 calories a day you'll start losing weight (granted you are a grown man). If you want to implement some strength training as well to maximize your general healthiness, I recommend doing that first thing in the morning before eating anything so your body is empty, and consumes as much of your fat as possible. Eat plain chicken, rice, vegetables, muesli, etc. Drink a shit ton of water and avoid drinking sugar and calorie heavy drinks, those are the deadliest for weight loss.
And most importantly.
BE REALISTIC! This is where most of weight loss plans fail.
The most important part for any diet program is realism. Know your limits (which are usually being lazy), and set some proper goals for yourself. Set goals like "Work out 30 minutes 3 mornings a week" or even more if you think you can pull it off. There are plenty of bodyweight exercises that are great for general strenght, no gym needed. You can find all kinds of 15 to 30 to 45 minute sets from the internet. As long as you stick to that diet and do even little exercise, you'll start losing weight quite fast and feel a lot better about yourself.
