You must count calories and at least in initial stages write down what you are going to eat and when then stay on that list!. Your total calories for the week must not exceed, 1500 x 7 = 10,500 calories this will give you leave way to indulge at special occasions like wedding and parties, but you must write down what you eat and account for the calories latter and adjust the total intake next week!.
Please read my article on this subject and follow them!.
While at it build your body too, while reducing by doing body parts specific exercises!.
If you are not too old, then best way to reduce your weight is to increase your height!.
Vegetarians have a big advantage, in loosing weight, it cost less and they can satisfy the hunger more easily, some vegetables have only 1 calorie per pound, so they can fill themselves up with it before enjoying each meal, and never go hungry!.
Most people should take one a day water soluble multi-vitamins when on this program; they can be purchased at the pharmacy near you!.

Increasing the Height
By
In rare cases, you can increase the height up to age 30!.
Cycling is good exercise and fun too!.
You need to adjust the seat so that when you paddle from seating position you will actually stretch your legs, it is a difficult position but doable!. For safety you need to be on track and not in traffic, safety first!.
The FEW things I did at least helped me!.
Swimming!.
Not just playing in water, but serious laps type swimming, do not try to beat the clock but steady full strokes swimming!. Remember slow and steady wins the race!.
Stretching exercises on floor!.
Find them on line!.
Chin ups!.
Full stretch type!.
Swinging from a rope!.
Full stretch climbing!.
In other words do things that require stretching!.
STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH
PS
In the morning after good night sleep every one is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch taller!. This is because the soft tissue between the bones recovers during the time when there is no weight on them!.
Older people loose height due to bone loss!. I was 5', 7'' I am only 5', 5"!.
Issue of Genes:
You know only the active genes but genes can stay dormant for generations!.
I believe that every one has some tall height genes, dormant or active; I again believe that certain exercises can activate those!.
Again Swimming:
You will start out with half a lap and build up day by day, half a lap at a time!. Then you will swim non stop for 1/2 an hour!.
The speed is not important but you must use various strokes and do them correctly, completely, slowly and perfectly!. This way you will have full stretch, and its benefit!.
Eating healthy foods and taking rest as specially sleeping soundly at night is very important!. Most people need 8 hours of good sound sleep per night, some need more and few get by with 4 hours only!.
In the mean time use high hills and take advantage of hair-do, wardrobe can do wonders too; vertical striped clothing can create a taller look for most people!.
Hormones:
Under strict supervision of a doctor they do wonders but the side effects are delayed and unpredictable so doctors do not like to use them!.
Surgical Procedures:
There are surgical procedures but most doctors will not do them till the person is 30 years or so!. They also have to be very short!.
