I've been gym training for a long time and have been with a personal trainer for about a year now (which I highly recommend doing if possible, even just temporarily). I'd like to point out that in terms of losing weight, you don't necessarily have to eliminate carbs from your diet. It's more about the type of carb you eat, when and how much.
A small to medium bowl of oats (with honey and blueberries, or another fruit) first thing in the morning will be the most important carbs that you eat that day (eat a couple eggs for protein intake as well). It will provide you with sufficient stored energy and allows the body to slow release that energy over the next 10-12 hours. Combine this with both cardio exercise (HIIT movement if possible) and resistance training (weight lifting), and you'll find you can lose weight while still giving your body the energy it properly needs from carbohydrates.
