Ditch the chicken breast and start eating bacon, steak, pork, etc. Try to limit yourself to 20-30g of carbs a day. I am generally in the same boat as you as far as weight, height and age - I'm doing limited exercise (30 min bike ride a day to work and back) and have lost 15lbs in 6 weeks - without a lot of exercise on a low carb diet.
Nonsense. When I was in Costa Rica, I dropped over a size without even trying. I ate mangoes all day long, plus lots of other tropical fruit, and lots of rice and beans, so tons of carbs.
However, overall I had a calorie deficit, and that is why I lost weight.
I also know plenty of healthy and fit vegans who eat high carb.
