Maybe giving more information about yourself, and your goals, could get you more constructive replies.

To actually do something?
You already know what you need to do, right? Eat less, move more.
Eat less.
Move more.
Why aren't you doing it yet instead of beating around the bush trying to find some imaginary "best way".
Get crackin'. You know what you need to do. Let's see you do it, right?

I've been blessed with a peasant's frame as well as an extremely short torso since I was about 13, when, over one summer, I went from an A cup to a D cup. I swear, you could hear the literal "boinnnnggggg!!!!" as the things popped out. I've been fighting being pudgy and overweight since then.
Part of being overweight has been shown to be related to your ancestry and what your ancestors went through. All 4 of my birth grandparents survived the dust bowl. Those 4 grand parents were Irish, Choctaw, English and Polish Jew. . .so, let's see, 3 of my 4 cultural threads are well-known for famine and starvation periods. I obviously came from people that starving couldn't kill!
Okay, so what does that have to do with you reasamaan? I bet you are from a similar genetic background.
My advice: give up on the idea that you will ever be rail-skinny or look like the people that cross the finish line first at a marathon. Then realize that you can lose weight; might be harder for you than for others, but you can lose weight and get to a normal BMI or close to it. Know that you are going to have to fight the good fight to get there and that's okay and that looking good IRL is really about looking healthy - which, I promise, you can do!0
