Don't try to lose weight fast. Don't do a diet for a limited amount of time. Change your eating habits to something you can live with permanently. Avoid sugar in drinks, it's so easy to get a lot of calories without feeling full. Sugar in general will give you hunger attacks. For me personally I feel best if I have a big part of calories coming from protein, followed by less carbs and some fat. But removing sugar from drinks alone lost me 30kg, without changing any other habits. Better for the general health as well.

Going to the gym helped me immensely. Not so much in losing weight directly but in feeling better and fresher.

Exactly, this is a lifestyle change first.

This. I've found working out has changed the kinds of foods I crave, making it easier to adhere to a diet. I'd usually feel more like a steak with eggs and brocoli rather than a deep-fried burger.
