What you need to do definitely is lay off any junk. Your step-father isn't being abusive if he's trying to prevent you from hurting or killing yourself depending on size etc and diabetes risk. Your brother knows when to stop and you haven't got the self-control mechanism yet.
I will be blunt with you as you deserve honesty and no sugar-coating. Unless you want to change and have a burning passion to meet goals and continue to maintain healthy weight you won't be successful. You have to put the work in and unless you are all in it won't work. You have to want to be healthy with each breath and remind yourself if you see junk how it will torpedo things for you.
You should visit your doctor and get hooked up with the right diet and exercise plan for you and a nutritionist to help change your eating habits and how you cook. That will go a long way. Don't d any exercising without asking your doctor if it's the right choice.
You could easily go to a community center for swimming for example and or any of their programs or classes for teens. See what parks and recreation in your city or town has open to public that won't cost a fortune. Usually with swimming it's a few dollars a swim or some even do monthly passes or 10 or so visits or whatever. That's a cheap option.
Look into the YMCA. Your parents can sign you up for a membership where they pay for it monthly and it gives access to all kinds of programs karate, swimming whatever's open to teens. In some cases if there are financial hurdles they'll work on getting you in anyways. I'd start from these two ideas.
