for someone going through such a fragile part of their life, don't do anything drastic and take gradual steps.
I agree with seeing a dietitian. Don't even think about taking diet pills or any sort of fad/gimmicky diet.
For a starter, prepare a chart of what you usually eat, jot down EVERYTHING that you eat so you have a general idea of what you can cut down on.
For someone your age, I would recommend having an intake of 25% fat, 25% protein, and the rest from vegetables and grain.
But remember to stay away from white rice and bread, especially those bagels and croissants.
Anyway, good luck
