Make exercise a priority.As long as you get your heart rate up, I consider that burning calories.You can do jogging, but I suggest pilates or other exercises to tone or gain muscle(helps avoid saggy skin)
Exercise can come in many forms so dont be afraid to try out something new.Variety keeps it interesting so you're less likely to quit.Also stick to a schedule.

I would suggest eating lots of green foods(spinach, salads,) Fish is good.Try to get in fruits and vegetables into your diet everyday.Have a cheat day where you allow yourself something sweet.Stick to whole grain bread(avoid processed white bread).
Avoid overly salty foods(minimum amount) to avoid bloating and water retention which will make you feel bloated.Avoid sweets as much as possible.Learn how to read the nutritional info on the packaged of foods you eat.
It is hard at first to cut out any bad foods.Your body will be able to digest food easier with even small changes in your diet and you wont crave cheat foods as much anymore.
Most importantly is to find balance in your diet.
Results for weight loss are 80% what you eat, 20% exercise.

Figure out what your Resting Energy Expenditure is

(^this will change as you lose weight^)

Fitness wrist band to know how many calories you burned, keep a food journal, eat 500 calories less than what you burn to lose half a kilo in a week.

Choose foods that will keep you fuller for longer

Get MyFitnessPal. It gives you the calories each day and subtracts what you take in and adds some for exercise. It's very eye opening to see what a day's input is

Cut out bread, pasta, cakes, biscuits, butter, crisps and reduce your meal sizes. Have lots of vegetables and protein. Exercise everyday.

I eat when im hungry. Not when i want to eat.
Also i mostly eat protein. You'll shed the weight in no time.

I think it might sound crazy to you but i have experienced it so i will share it ..
When you it try to eat mindfully , means don't have any kind of distractions around like no TV or no phone while eating , try to taste the food , feel it in your mouth & chew it 32 times ( that's science ), you will see results in days .. it will not only help you lose weight but will make more mindful in other parts of your life too :)
