Trying to help my teenage daughter lose weight

My wife and I are growing concerned with our daughter's weight. She's 17, 5'5, and 175. She was chubby when she was young, we put her in some sports, which led to weight loss, but, for some time now, its been creeping back up. The quarantine has not been helpful, and her using her own money to buy the foods she wants are not helpful. A large percentage of the food in the house is healthy. She eats pretty much only what she buys, thinks our food is " weird".

We don't want to go at this like bulls in a china shop, recklessly, and we don't want to treat her like she's not privy to this occurrence. We go back and forth between, " We're her parents, we need to help fix this" and " she's almost 18, let her do what she wants." We're petrified to take the 1st step, simply put.

What's the sensitive way to handle this?

TLDR: Most effective way to handle daughter's weight gain?
