Welcome! Exercise is an important part of getting fit, but the reality is that most weight loss occurs in the kitchen (or wherever you eat). If you can't (or don't choose to) exercise, then you need to be really strict in keeping a daily calorie deficit through consuming less calories. In fact, every single weight loss solution (with the exception of surgically removing fat) revolves around this. No matter how the "diet" is packaged, your calorie intake must somehow not exceed your calorie burn.
So, come up with a calorie level that you can live with, made up of "good" foods, that is less than your calculated burn. Track it every day, religiously, and you'll lose weight.
Regards,
Michael
