I'll chime in on your weight loss woes.

Contrary to bro-science myths 'fats' do not make us fat.
The body needs fats and proteins....carbs must be thought of as natures' candy.
Stay away from all processed foods: packaged meats, empty carbs like most cold cereals, all junk food and all sodas.
Morning....have a mix of protein and good carbs. Fruits are OK but eat them during the course of the day and after about 3pm stop the carb intake.
Have only lean meat and vegetables for dinner.
CARDIO: do about 30-40 minutes of cardio 3-5 days a week depending on your goals.
Remember a couple of things....it's not a diet...it's a life style change and it's a marathon, not a sprint.
You will not look like one of the '300' in 3 months.
People allow themselves to put on weight over long periods of bad eating habits.
You should not try to lose more than about 2 # per week...that is the safe way to lose weight and minimize sagging skin.

I've only offered some generalities here based on your profile.

Hope that helps get you on the path of good health and self respect.
Good luck...
