In my experience, the general rule of thumb is that weight control (loss) is 80% what and how much you eat (cal, nutrition), and 20% what you do (workout, etc). There is some good research to back this up. I recommend you focus heavily on the eating side first, then worry about the gym and subsequent weight loss.
