Make it difficult to consume more calories than the amount of calories necessary for maintaining your target weight. E.g., make it such that you need to eat a lot of food everyday to reach the maintenance level for your target weight (fast food, e.g., makes it very very easy to go over that target). Or you only eat after a certain time late in the day.
Religiously monitor your progress. Take pictures of your back, side, front every week. Weigh yourself everyday. Take measurements—use us navy body fat calculator. Find a way to show off your progress. (This is all purely motivational.)
Do the kind of exercise that you will excel at with your desired body type. If you want to be muscular, do a lot of body weight exercises. If you want to be lean, do a lot of long distance running. But note that some body types require different nutritional compositions.
This must be a lifestyle change, and not a temporary thing to just lose fat.
You need to believe it will work, and continually adapt to setbacks.
