Hard to do on your own at first. A gym like Anytime Fitness has major internet training and diet programs and trainers at their gyms.
I'm 62 and have had a gym membership since I was 18 and it has paid for itself many times over. *Have fun*1 -
I am at a gym but they only work as pts so not much help thank you for the message1

You can eat whatever foods you like while sticking to your calorie goal.
To help with satiety, it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on your protein, fat, and fiber goals. Many of us look at them as minimums to be exceeded.
To protect and support your muscles, protein is important, the recommendation I see most often is @ 0.8g of protein per lb of your goal body weight.
Obviously for good health you want to eat a varied diet and nutritious food.
