First of all, before commencing any diet, please talk to your doctor, especially because you're on meds that seem to mess with your metabolism. Giving up sodas is brilliant, but when it comes to avoiding sugars and fats, first find out how much your body and brain actually needs.
I understand the pressure you're under, I used to be a little "fluffy" when I was a kid, and my mom still drives me crazy when ever I put a little extra weight. I had to grow up and become and adult to prove her wrong.
Trust me, F..K IT! It's an artificial construct engineered by society.
Here's the naked truth: loosing or gaining weight is only about how an particular human body works at certain moments in time and has to do with a ton of reversible chemistry and biology inner processes. REVERSIBLE it's the day's word. Maybe it takes longer for some people to gain weight, maybe it takes longer for other to loose weight. Picture yourself on a timeline, since you were born and try to imagine a weight graphic. The numbers changed over time and they will change from now on.
Do what ever makes you comfortable and helps you loose weight, as long you don't do damage to yourself. Whatever you're planning to do, do it one step at the time. Too much exercise (or too difficult) at a time might increase too fast your blood pressure, for instance. Giving up "normal" food like meat, or cheese or veggies or drastically reduce your necessary intake might also harm you.
Good luck with your plan and remember, it's all biology and chemistry who're supposed to work in your favor! ;)
