I don't know how to lose weight and it's making me depressed.

Hello, I'm a 20 yro girl who has really put the weight on over the years. And i really need some help, I'm over 200 pounds and 5'6. I just look at photos of younger me and it seems I've only gotten wider over the years. Overall I just don't like being at this weight. I'm also autistic with adhd. I dont know what that adds to my situation but those who are the same might understand the connection better than I do and help me understand a way to help myself.

Anywho, I know what's causing the weight gain, I over eat a lot because I don't have much to do in the day, nobody to hang out with, no reason to go outside. It started at the beginning of my freshman highschool in 2020, during the pandemic. All of my friends drifted away, and I got really depressed and alone and became a shut in. I don't do much in my day anymore except draw, read, and eat and then sleep. I live on the second floor and I find myself listening to my every footstep and hating the sound of the things around me rattling as I walk. And when I take photos of myself I hate it too.

It's a pretty depressing lifestyle and funnily enough I've grown bored of being bored and doing nothing but eating. So I'm trying to lose weight, just to see if it'll change things up for me. Make me happier.

But that's where I get stumped, I don't know how to lose weight at all. I know Exercise and diet, but what Exercise am I supposed to do? What foods am I supposed to eat? And how do I stop eating the unhealthy foods that I eat?

And most importantly where do I find the motivation to even get started?

Because honestly I've been feeling like I can never lose weight that right way and just might need to starve myself or something. Which is a thought process that's really been freaking me out.

I just really could really use some help from just like anyone at this point.
