I'm relatively new at this as well, so this is just what has worked for me so far.
My first week here I started out eating what I normally ate, but measuring everything to get an idea of where I was going wrong. By the end of the week my portion sizes were much smaller as I adjusted how much I ate and stopped mindless snacking.
Then I started making small changes, mostly by actually starting to cook my meals instead of buying something and adding cheese.0 -

With 20kg to lose I would recommend setting your goal to lose 1 lb (0.5 kg) per week. Eat back exercise calories and you should have a reasonable calorie goal that is healthy and sustainable.0 -
