No processed foods, no liquid calories. Quality protein and heavy weight lifting are your friends. Eat bulking carbs such as rice and potatoes but take it easy on the flour based stuff. Fasting can be beneficial too.
Cardio is good for being in shape as far as lungs and heart, but won't really do much for weight loss. I wouldn't necessarily do what doctors tell you. They don't have much training in this field.
I've also reduced the variety of foods I eat, which seems to make things simpler and it makes it less likely for me to stray. I've found foods that make me feel good and stick with those. It is mostly animal based stuff. Lots of meat.
Congrats on your progress!
