I understand your concern. One of the major reasons for weight gain is skipping meals, starving oneself and indulging in unhealthy snacking. This slows down metabolism levels and leads to weight gain. For losing weight, you first need to set your metabolism levels and body clock right. You must:-
a) Follow a strict dietary regime and set you body clock right by following the same timings every day
b) Have 6-8 small but frequent meals and not skip meals
c) Not compromise on nutrition while trying to lose weight
Next Steps
It's great that you are wanting to incorporate some physical activity in your daily routine by joining the gym. Have small frequent meals. Avoid foods that are high in fat and
sugar. Have foods that are nutrient dense and not calorie dense. Include things like almonds, roasted sesame seeds, salads with a lemon dressing.
