Low calorie and low carb diets?!

For starters I'm a 20 year old male, 6'1" tall, 265lbs and my goal weight is 215lbs. I'm wanting to lose my weight pretty fast (before or into February 2016). I used to play football from 6th grade to 12th grade and I worked out from age 13-18 and quit after high school. After high school I didn't have the motivation to lift anymore because all my football buddies were either in college, working or still in high school so I didn't have the moral to lift. I started working for my dad in his tree service roughly 3 months after my high school graduation in 2014. The spring semester of 2015 I enrolled in community college and didn't get a chance to work so I gained my weight back. (During senior year football I was 260 and after football I dropped to 210 during the rest of my senior year, I had two gym classes so I was still active and I didn't have much of an appetite for some reason so with lifting weights and running at least a mile every day caused me to drop 50 pounds in a couple months). So no activity during college made me gain weight again. I quit college after one semester and kept working for my dad. I pick up heavy logs and throw them in a truck and drag tree limbs and throw them into a wood chipper for 8 hours a day, so I'm pretty active now, just not losing weight! I never did eat "right" when I lifted and played football all these years but I maintained a good weight without eating right. So I don't know what to eat to help me lose weight. I'm starting a new job next week for freightliner so I should still be a little active and I'm also getting a membership at a gym so I can start lifting again. My main goal here is to tell y'all about my life and to ask what is the best meals to cut weight with low calories and low carbs. Maybe include a few different meals ( say 2 or 3 for breakfast, lunch and dinner so I don't eat the same thing every day and lose motivation). Maybe include some personal experience with your diet and some of the things that motivated you during your weight loss. A few workout plans would be nice too! Thank you!!!
