Hi Teresa,

The most important thing for you to do is eat at a caloric deficit. You need to figure out how many calories per day your body needs and eat about 15-20% less than that. To figure out your daily goal, try using our macro calculator. It's meant for a low carb diet but you can still figure out the calories (they just won't be broken down into macronutrients for your diet).
