Nutritionist : A consultation with a nutritionist would be a great place to start your journey in to a better way of eating. Your primary healthcare provider should be able to help you arrange this. Alternatively, most state health departments have free access to healthy lifestyle programs. Exercise and core toning will be very helpful for you.
