Actually, you shouldn't be losing weight to, -even partly-, trying to be a rolemodel for your family or anybody else.
If you feel uncomfortable about your weight, you should definately try and make a decision. You should understand if you're having real trouble with your weight, time has come to do something about it! :D

Try to stop searching for those diets. I know, I sound like a tard, but stop it, they do more bad than good. I've had lots of experience with diets, and most of them are really bad and after a while... You'll be so hungry you'll even want to kill somebody :O

Anyway, the best thing to lose weight is to move. To walk, jog, run, or whatever you call it.... And I don't mean in that costy-gym, no, you should run in open-air!
Believe me, it is a great excercice! Try searching for 'running-schedules' or make your own. First day, run for 1 min. non-stop, 2nd day you'll run 3min., .... etc.

At any rate, the most important thing is to get out of your room, run a while, come back, and do whatever you're good in again. Also, learn to like running, and don't see it as a torture! Take your Ipod with you if you don't feel comfortable the first time doing it, it should give you a boost.

Aight, that's about all I can tell you. I wish you the best of luck on your program and in your life. I am sure everything will work out! Cheers! ;)
