There is so much bullshit in this thread it's unbelievable.
Bodhisattva is the only one who got it right.
Don't believe people who tell you certain ways. You need to figure out what you want and then find a way that suits you personally.
For people who start from scratch it's usually best to implement one thing at a time and only start something new when they got the first thing right completely.
There are a couple of basic things you can look into:
Daily cardio such as walking
Drinking enough water
Eating healthy or more healthily than you currently do
Finding some sort of sport you enjoy. Dancing, fencing, bodybuilding, running, … The fun part is more important than anything because if you don't like doing it you will probably not have the will to pull through.
There are so many information out there you will be overwhelmed quickly. That is also why I recommend you look into one single thing first and then go to the next. There are a couple of people on this forums that are qualified to answer some of your questions, but generally don't go to toribash for things like this. If you want to know about nutrition you can probably ask Bodhisattva. If you want to know about losing weight you can go find Destram, if he is still around. I know a thing or two about power lifting and increasing muscle mass. mwah also does. PM those people, don't ask the public.
Also this is a great source of information, no matter what you end up doing in the end:
