Cut out all sugars, refined carbohydrates and anything else really processed. That means no diet products, protein shakes, bread, rice, cereal. Eat fresh, natural food, and make meals from scratch. Buy eggs, meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, some dairy (full fat and unsweetened). Record what you eat in a journal. I lost over 20lbs doing that. Don't count calories, just eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full.
Lift weights for an hour and a half 4 or 5 times a week. Do upper body twice and lower body twice. The other days, go to the gym and ride a bike. Eat less than 2000 calories. Soups, salads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, roast beef, turkey, tuna, salmon, low fat, diet everything. Get your thyroid checked - T4 and TSH tests. Be patient. Act like you own the gym. Do it in the summer, winter. No matter how what. Treat it like a job you have to go to.
Have you had any lab work done recently (blood draw for CMP and chemistry; thyroid check, hormone levels, etc)? Inability to lose weight, particularly weight around the belly, can be a sign of estrogen dominance, which can be corrected by hormone therapy (choose bioidentical hormone therapy if possible).
You know exactly what you need to do and the information regarding such is well posted both in this forum and online at an enormous amounts of cites...so claiming you don't know what to do is unbelievable.
Clean up your diet by getting rid of by stopping eating all processed, packaged food.
Stop eating all fast foods and all restaurant meals.
Stop eating all added processed sugars and sweeteners.
Eat whole, fresh foods including fruits, vegetables, raw seeds and nuts, red meats, poultry, fish, eggs and whole, raw dairy.
Thirty minutes of aerobics a day, making each day more intense and harder than the day before. Start walking, Then move to walking and jogging. Then get to jogging. Then add interval sprints along with cycling, skating, jumping rope, swimming, etc.
Three days a week take part in a progressive weight resistance training program which will help you burn fat and gain some muscle (muscle burns calories even while at rest).
Every morning, first thing in the morning, do a full body stretching routine.
Make life style changes and maintain them for the rest of your life.
You already know all of this, as it has been posted, said, published over and over again ad infinitum....and you ignored it just like you will probably ignore it now.
Therein lies the rub...you know what to do but you do not have the will power nor the determination to do it and to keep doing it and you give up, make excuses, quit and fall back into your old bad habits.
Make a lifestyle change. Any "diet" you go on may help you lose some weight but you'll tend to gain it back if you go back to your previous ways. Unhealthy diets also can cause weight loss of tissue other than fat (such as muscle, especially if your calorie intake is too low). Use a site like freedieting.com to determine about what your calorie intake should be (look for the Daily Calorie Needs calculator link on the left side of their home page...or use the link below). You can lose UP TO 3 lbs per week in a healthy manner, but 1 - 2 lbs is much more doable and easier to maintain long term.
Eat a healthy well-balanced diet at least 80% of the time...keep junk food, fast food, sweets, sodas, etc to a bare minimum (the occasional treat if you feel the need). Avoid as much processed food as you can. Focus on lean protein, fruits and veggies, complex carbs, healthy and healthy fats. Keep your calories at a healthy level when working to lose fat, and go for 4 - 6 small meals/snacks a day to keep your metabolism up for longer...add to that a lot of water, and cardio exercise (shoot for at least 1 hr/day, at least 5 days a week) and you'll be on your way! If you don't have an exercise program you want to use, youtube has TONS of fitness videos you can check out, not to mention just getting outdoors and going for a walk, run, or bike ride.
When you reach your goal, simply modify your calorie intake and/or exercise to allow you to maintain your weight instead of continuing to lose.

Get Dr. Abravanel's "The Body Type Diet"
There is a quiz in there that will tell you which of the four metabolic types your body has: thyroid, adrenal, gonadal, or pituitary.
Each type needs a totally different diet to manage weight.
Most Western women have a thyroid-based metabolism, and almost all popular diets assume that.
If you have one of the other types, you won't be able to lose weight on a thyroid diet.
