I don't believe in these over-engineered 'quanitified self' solutions. Just get yourself a simple step counter and go for one or two walks a day and try to up the step count by a bit every time and don't eat like an asshole. It's worked for me for a long while now.

> don't eat like an asshole

Man, it feels like you're taking a shot at me. I've averaged my 10k steps a day for almost a year now (actually averaged close to 11k in 2020 on a whole,but didn't get consistent until mid-March), and, while I have lost weight, I just can't get my diet under control. It's quite frustrating, honestly, and stems form my lack of desire to meal prep.

You don't have to meal prep per se, but I find having a plan helps. Buying and preparing food when you're hungry will make you eat more of the wrong stuff than if you had a plan.

I also found that by basically tripling my intake of vegetables helps a lot with feeling satiated. No one ever got fat because they ate too much broccoli, lettuce, and spinach.
