so much Bro Science stupidity on this thread. OP, Stick with it. Dont do a fad diet. At the end of the day, no matter what diet or plan you do, it all comes down to calories in vs calories out.

Yep.

1. Start lifting weights. Start with stronglifts 5x5

2. Set your calories at 10 kcal / lbs body weight

3. Set you macros at:
Protien 40%
Fat 30%
Carbs 30%

4. Eat whatever the hell you want, so long as it fits in your calorie and macronutrient goals. Protien is most important. You'll end up eating lean meats and vegetables at least some of the time, because as your body reacts to the calorie deficit your hunger will go up - and those foods will present more satiety.

5. Lose weight

6. Aim for 1-2 lbs per week and adjust calories up or down accordingly. You can play with your macros a bit too depending on what you like and how you feel (higher or lower protien, fat or carbs, within 5-7% of my recommendations)
