if you are just trying to loose weight the most important thing to do is to watch what you eat, cut down on soda and do little things like having sauce on the side. stay away from condiments! with just doing those two things and adding in a little cardio, ie some jogging or cycling and you should be good.

Use a calorie calculator (http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html) to find out how many calories you can eat in a day. DO NOT cheat on it; tell it your exact height/weight, and be honest with how often you currently exercise. Then, get an app like MyFitnessPal and mark down EVERYTHING THAT YOU EAT OR DRINK NO MATTER WHAT.
If you eat it or drink it, mark it down. Coffe/Tea and Water can be exceptions, but if you put honey or sugar or milk in it, mark that down. Make sure you measure out correct portions as labeled by the nutritoin label (like 1 cup) and DO NOT USE MORE THAN THAT. If you use more than that, you have to add that to what you eat also.
MyFitnessPal has a scanner, so you can just scan the barcode of the thing you're eating, so that's easy.
AS LONG AS YOU MARK EVERYTHING YOU EAT DOWN, AND MARK IT DOWN CORRECTLY, AND STAY UNDER YOUR DAILY CALORIES, YOU *WILL* LOSE WEIGHT.
Excercise helps because it boosts your metabolism, allowing you to eat more calories per day. You SHOULD be exercising, but that is not a requirement to lose weight
