Get a digital food scale and start tracking calories and macros. MyFitnessPal’s free version is sufficient for this.

Be honest with yourself. Research an appropriate calorie deficit to work with. Realize that ~3500 calories is approximately 1 pound. Set some weigh in goals at the 3 and 6 month marks. Try daily weigh ins but only track the week to week average.

Not concrete advice, and everyone is different, but hope this helps.

Is it really just eating like many people here suggest? I was under the impression that you had to do both? Work out and eat more healthy?

Sweat, make yourself love it. Train your mind to enjoy it when your body makes sweat.

Be consistent, do not lose hope or motivation after a week, or s month. Try to keep at it for at least a couple of months

According to the video below, exercising doesn’t actually cause you to burn more calories as your body just chooses to delay non-essential stuff for another time.

As I understand it, if you increase your muscle, your body will burn more calories n a daily basis whereas cardio just burns calories in the current moment.

So focus on eating less calories than you burn (really helps to just cut out the crap and eat “whole food” rather than ultra processed crap - read “ultra processed people” for more info on this). Consume more protein to help muscle growth.

You unfortunately can’t target specific areas for fat burning, it’s pretty random.

Idiots here says there's no gimmic to do it but here you go:

Do a vacuum and breath with your chest

rest your tongue uniformly on the palate

You should record yourself in the mirror and act like a victim when guys pass by you. Then post the videos to tiktok.
