Sick of being overweight, but I don’t know where to start.

Hello all, I am a female, 16 years old and I weigh 209.7pounds. I’ve been overweight for as long as I can remember, and I was always put down for it by my family and classmates. That really made a toll in my mental health and in the way I view myself. I barely had any confidence, I always told myself I was so ugly I don’t deserve any friends or anyone to love me, it was something that haunted me my entire life. Last couple of years I got into a really good school and won a scholarship to go to America for a full school year as an exchange student. It was one of the most amazing experiences in my entire life, and it taught me independence and self confidence, but my weight only became worse. Living in a new environment filled with food that I had only seen on TV/the internet, I wanted to try all of it, and I practically forgot about self control and let myself go entirely. I ended up gaining 44 pounds. It’s been only a week since I’ve back home now after my exchange year, and my family didn’t hesitate to immediately start harassing me about my new weight and how fat I look. My father was embarrassed to introduce me as one of his daughters to his friend, and the first thing he mentioned about me was my weight and not my accomplishments. But now after these experiences that happened to me, I have had a lot of personal growth, and despite my appearance and weight, I have become confident in my abilities and my determination. I know I can lose weight, and Im going to start my journey this summer. I am just not sure what kind of diet to follow, since I don’t have easy access to the food that is usually in recipes in the internet. A lot of the food in my country is all traditional food and it’s hard to count calories and log them in logging apps. This is where I ask you guys for help. I’ve been lurking around here for a while and every story here has motivated me more and more to lose weight, but I don’t know how to start, what weight loss program to follow etc. I was extremely nervous about writing this post, because I feel like I should know all of this already, but I don’t, and also because english isn’t my first language and I’m terrible at writing so, I apologize about that. But I really need your advice. Please help me start my journey !! I will be forever grateful
