Supplements shouldn't be necessary for weight loss. As for exercise, do whatever you want that you will stick with and do consistently.4

Supplements: Nothing essential for weight loss, but if you're diagnosed with a deficiency, ask your doctor what you should supplement to improve.
Routine: For weight loss, just a sensibly moderate calorie deficit. For health, get well rounded overall good nutrition (on average over a day or few).
Exercise: Optional for weight loss, essential for health. Choose things you enjoy, or at least tolerate well and find practical to continue long term.
Work your way gradually up to at least 150 minutes per week of moderate cardiovascular (CV) exercise spread over at least 5 days, or 75 minutes of more intense CV exercise per week, or a proportionate combination; plus at least 2 days weekly of strength exercise. (If you've been inactive previously, that's not as dauntingly much as it may sound like now.)
Start wherever you are now fitness-wise, at a duration/frequency/intensity that's a moderate but manageable challenge to your current capabilities. As you get fitter, increase gradually to keep that same manageable challenge always in the picture.
Forever. Because weight management and health are forever, not a project with an end date.
Age 37? No special tactics needed. The strategies are pretty much the same at any age. (I'm saying this from the perspective of age 67, not a dewy-eyed 22 or something.)
Best wishes!3
