You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

Eat less (make sure you get good nutrition). It's literally that simple. Calories in less than daily caloric expenditure and thanks to physics you will lose weight. You can optionally exercise to increase your caloric expenditure but you can sit in a room motionless all day and as long as you eat less than your body requires calorie wise you will lose weight.

The hard part is sticking with it.

To expand on getting good nutrition, it's probably a good idea to take a multivitamin and make sure you get plenty of protein and fat (unsaturated is best). Fill out the rest with carbs if there's room left over. Why? You body NEEDS protein and fat or you will die, carbs are optional although useful for exercise. The multivitamin helps round out any small-nutrient deficiencies in your diet.
