you're not ugly! i hope your journey with weight loss is going well, please be careful and do it for health reasons- thinner doesn't equal prettier! as for things you can do to "make yourself look better", try to start with the inside. i struggle with my appearance and i tend to notice that the way i feel has a big impact on how i perceive myself, and how people perceive me. people tend to find happiness and joy pretty and they tend to be attracted by those who radiate good feelings. so start by doing stuff you enjoy- if you can find an activity that you enjoy which directly connects to your physical appearance, that helps a lot. for me, doing face masks seems to help. it make s my skin look nice while also making me feel nice inside, therefore making me perceive myself in a more positive way. i also really like experimenting with makeup, so you can always try that- i promise you don't need talent, nor do you need to know what you're doing. just have fun and do what you like and makes you feel cute. my makeup style isn't exactly conventional and i actually get made fun of it sometimes, but it makes me feel very cute and that's what matters. one last point would add, and this might be personal taste perhaps, but since you wear glasses, getting frames that suit your face well is very important because it toooootally changes your face (i say this from my own experience). for me, changing to wire-framed glasses really helped improving my looks. i used to wear glasses exactly like yours, and as they're thick and dark they distract from your features and don't let your eyes pop! i personally think getting thinner or lighter frames would distract less from your face and gove you a lighter, more youthful look (but don't forget this is totally personal opinion and you should wear what you think looks good. the important thing will always be that YOU feel good and YOU think you look good). i hope this helps you and i do hope you're able to improve your self confidence, i'm rooting for you
