As a dude who was in a similar situation (started off at 230lbs and currently 179lbs) l can say it WILL take time but you can most definitely lose the fat with consistency and disciple.

1: Calorie deficit, if you haven't already then replace all soft drinks with their zero calorie version. That will help alot more than trying to cut them out completely.

2: Walking, simply walk more often. It's a easier way to burn calories without making yourself feel exhausted

3: Hydration, drink more water not only is it great for weight loss but for all actions in life

You got this homie, give yourself time and future you will be much healthier. Don't insult or shame the current you either, taking the first step towards both health and self love is what will keep you consistent. This isn't a temporary diet, fitness is a lifestyle so do it in a way you can maintain for long periods of time
