You're the one who controls what happens to you. Put your stats in to MFP to get a calorie goal for weight loss and then track/log your food accurately consistently, until you achieve your goal.
Exercise is great for health. Do what you like, when works for your lifestyle.7 -

You're the only person who can do this.
Enter your stats and goals into MFP. Get a calorie goal. Log accurately and consistently hit your calorie goal. For weight loss, the foods you eat are going to be less important than the overall calories you're eating. That said, some people find it easier to hit their calorie goal when they focus on getting enough of whatever helps them feel full and satisfied. The trick is finding out what works for you -- for some people it's protein, for others it is fiber, higher volume of foods, fat, or even carbohydrates. So pay attention to the days you feel great or not so great and figure out how what you're choosing to eat corresponds to those days.
Exercise as much as you like for fitness.

I thank you so very much0 -
Only you.
Nobody can do this for you.
There's no special way to eat or magical exercise that causes weight loss. Just create a calorie deficit and you'll lose weight.1 -

You might get different answers if you posted in motivation/support instead of Debate.
But you're off to a good start. MFP has a great toolkit to inform you of how to make good decisions, and if you've got specific questions, the forums here are a great resource.0 -

How much do you want to lose? The less it it the slower it will be, and the smaller your deficit should be anyway.0

that's close to nothing
No problem then. Set your deficit at 0.5lbs/week and eat what MFP gives you. as you have so little to lose you need to be very careful. This is best done by using a foodscale as just estimating might wipe out your deficit. And food packaging information is often wrong.
Do you really need to lose this weight? it won't make much of a change. Could it be that working out will give you the look you're after?2 -
I want to be fit. If I can lose this extra weight, I will be in shape.
Thank you for your help.0 -
Because you don't have much to lose, set your weight loss goal to 0.25 kg a week and follow the calories it tells you to eat.1

Are you sure you read the units correctly? They said 5kg that's about 11lbs.2 -

True. Still it's not much.1 -

Not compared to some of the weight loss goals around on here, but we've no idea what percentage loss of body weight that is. Also, as someone who fights in a weight categorised sport, I can tell you that 5kg feels very different

Try this -Set your calories on MFP to maintaining your present weight, maybe 100 - 200 under, look up weight training programs - Strong Curves, Strong Lifts, or Grey Skull, pick one & and follow it for 3 months. Go outside for a walk sometimes, Give it a try for 3 months & see what happens, you will be surprised. - Eastcoast Jim1

Examples of specific goals: Walk/run 1/2/3/5 miles; Do 5/10/20/50/100 pushups; Do 1 strict pullup; Bench press 1.25x body weight.
The advantage of specific goals is that you can train/progress towards those goals. And track that progression measurably and specifically.1 -
