weight loss help

hello ladies 🖐, I really want to loose weight like I'm serious. I'm in school to become a Medical assistant and I graduate in June. I'm also not working right now so I don't have money for a gym. I know and hear people say all the time love your body, be confident in your body. And let me tell y'all something, I have tried and I am okay with it but want so badly to loose weight. I'm 5"1 and just got out of the 200's. I'm 198.5 somewhere around there. I have not the slightest clue what to cook or how to meal prep or anything. I get upset every time I go shopping for new clothes or lingerie. I have lower tummy fat 😏 anyways if y'all have any advice please share with me. I'd really appreciate it. I just need some guidance ☺
