Well the first thing is input/output. Input more calories than you burn and you store the excess as fat. So reduce calories, fat gets converted to energy, you lose weight. It's really that simple. Except... The problem is that you're hungry a lot. Which is very bad for the mood. It won't kill you but you'll be no fun. So what to do? I would recommend easting a close to unprocessed food as possible. No tins, no bags, no snacks, no prepackaged dinners, no sodas, etc. Eat raw. If you cook, cook from raw. This will probably have a side effect of reducing fat as a percent of calories. But it will also force you to look around for stuff like fruits and vegetables as a substitute for the processed food you're eating now. So you can probably keep the hungries away and still burn more calories than you're consuming. A gram of protein has 4 calories. A gram of carbohydrate has 9 calories. A gram of fat has 9 calories. You total intake of fat calories should be less than 30% of the total. 20% is better. Unfortunately there's no substitute for knowing what the calorie, fat, protein, carb, sodium content is of everything you eat. A calorie restricted diet might also be the key to living to 120 in good health, if you're a lab rat. They've shown that it works in the lab. So try living on 1200 calories a day for a couple of years. Of course, maybe you don't want to live that way for another 60 years. The flip side of the input/output thing is of course to increase output. You're en ex-military guy so you know how to exercise. Just have to find something that's entertaining and doable in that crappy climate.

A couple of brisk 5 - 7 km walks a week will do wonders. It works for me, I drink a fair bit and don't worry about my diet - but I've stayed around 85Kg for years.
