It can get boring, but chicken breast is great and you can make loads of good meals with that as a base.
Walk as default - it's surprising how quick it can be to get around
Run if you can, or in your case swim or cycle. - even doing a lap of the park and stopping 5 times, within a week you'll be stopping twice, then not stopping, then doing 2 laps, then running longer distances
Cut out booze, sugar, bread, processed food. Even just during the week.
Weigh yourself regularly so you can see the progress being made. You may be surprised how well it goes.
Good luck and good for you!!!
I've done this myself and would be happy to send recipes if you like.
