Don't go on some fad diet but DO the following and you will stabilize and lose weight slowly a little at a time. It will take a couple of weeks before you see any change so try your best to stick to it for at least that long. Once you start to see results it makes you feel great and its easier to carry on with it.
Try to do a 30 min brisk walk every other day.
Give up bread and potatoes completely.(eat your favorite sandwich but remove that bread!!)
Give up alcohol completely.
Give up sugary soft drinks completely.( cut down on diet cola as the acid is badfor your teeth. Water is best.)
Eat everything else in moderation, eat plenty and heartily but count calories and try not to exceed 2500 in any one day. Remember it's not eating fat that makes you fat, its eating too many calories.
JMHO
Good luck
