To lose weight, you have to consume less calories than your calories needed per day.

That helps you figure out how many calories your body requires per day.
So, if you eat less than that [not too much- please don't starve yourself], you may start to lose weight.
But losing weight is not only through dieting, but also exercise.
So, figure out a light exercise program. Maybe do a few push-ups a day. Walk a mile everyday. Do something, just get active.

That all depends on your height. That's how your target weight is set. You can then calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) using a chart to see if you are overweight, underweight or in the right range. It's the same thing when figuring out calories.
I can help you further if you hit my INBOX and give me your height and weight. Asa far as a diet plan goes leave that one up to your doctor. They can refer you to a nutritionist nad write something up very easily.
When it comes to exercise walking, running, swimming or any team sports will help. Self-defense classes definitely will get you in shape too. If you eat right and exercise and cut out junk food, fried foods etc. you'll notice a fast difference. I've dropped over 50 pounds in 7 months.
I need to know your height because you may not need to diet at all but think that you do over something related to self-image. Definitely edit your question and fill in some of those gaps and you'll get a lot better advice from us/me.
