You don't need to work out to lose weight but you should to look and feel good.
I was never overweight. I'm 174cm and when I considered myself weighting too much (about 75kgs) I figured it's time to get fit.
I stopped eating potatoes pancakes, pizzas, chocolate and red meat. Switched to chicken/fish, rice and threw in vegetables. It's even easier to make.
Also I eat about 3 eggs per meal once or twice per day, together with mackerel and vegetables. Only crisp bread.
And I started working out, mainly playing tennis. Two-three times per week.
My weight tumbled to 61kgs in half a year. I lost almost 20% of my weight. That's a lot and it got me scared, even though I looked skinny fit, not unhealthy skinny.
I added one extra egg to my meal and started drinking protein powder twice a day and hit gym instead of tennis.
I'm at 64kgs atm and think this is almost where I want to be. Maybe 2-3kgs more muscle and about 2% less body fat.
