I hate the term diet, because it always conjures up images of fad diets that are impossible to follow long term. I prefer lifestyle modification.
Cut out sugar, stay away from refined foods in favour of whole grains, if you do eat meat, eat lean meat like chicken and fish and make sure most of your plate is filled with vegetables, especially leafy green ones.
The two best reviewed "diets" (or rather lifestyles) are the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet and both use the above as starting points.
Exercise will also help, and if you do, include weight training. Weight training burns more calories at resting, because your muscles need to recover.
