Have you tried at-home exercise? The combination of the two is obviously going to be far more effective than just a diet alone and would be far more efficient to reach the goal you've set. I would recommend yoga, as it's personally become a great workout when I don't feel like running and gives a nice sense of calm for my own anxiety issues when I go through a routine.
That's what I did when I was younger and it worked. I didn't step foot into a gym before I started losing weight (still haven't since I'm cheap) and I dropped close to 100 pounds. Honestly, I think it was around 85 but it's close. I was well over 250 pounds, wore 3XL shirts, wore size 38 jeans and even those were getting a bit too snug. After I got rejected by a girl I liked (I knew why even if she wouldn't say it) I decided to lose weight and get into shape. I ate better by cutting out fast food (basically just watching what I eat) and exercised 5 days a week at home.
I googled exercises and designated certain days to certain kinds of exercises and how many sets and reps I would do. I never counted calories because that was a level I wasn't prepared to go to nor was it something I really cared about doing and everything turned out pretty good here. I'm 5`11, was around 260 and up (never weighed myself until I dropped the weight but I was a big boy) and now I'm 176 and 18% body fat; my goal is to get to around 12% body fat.
You can do it, buddy. It'll be hard as shit and you'll fall off the wagon, because we all do, just make sure to get back on it.
EDIT: Also, I started drinking damn near nothing but water, so that absolutely helps as well. Energy drinks, soda, coffee and all that stuff? I never touch it. I've been doing this for so long that I don't even consider what I'm doing out of the ordinary or any kind of diet, it's just how I operate now especially with the exercising.
