Hi I'm a 5'7 165lbs 15 year old male. I'm looking to lose weight. I'm knew to almost every thing (like I don't know what foods to eat, portion seizes, or workout routines). The only sport I play is golf and I walk every round and play 9 holes 2-3 times a week). I can run a mile in 10-11 minuets. I'm not a great runner but wish to be one. I'm well built (broad shoulders. Strong legs). I have big Thighs, a big gut and some man boobs... I need a good starting workout schedule so I can work my way up to more intense workouts. Any suggestions? Any are great! Thanks.

Diet isn't as difficult as people make it sound. You know what's good and what's bad. Obviously, if you want to lose weight, you aren't going to get up and have 3 bowls of Capn' Crunch in the morning and Chinese takeout for dinner. Chicken, red meat, fish, brown rice, veggies, fruits, wheat bread, oats, natural peanut butter, beans, Greek yogurt, nuts, ect. You get the idea. Don't completely fill up your plate. Eat comfortable portions, and don't eat fast. Your body doesn't have the chance to keep up with how much you're eating when you eat fast. When you eat slower, you'll be surprised at how quickly you fill up when body has time to register what it's getting. There are more things to take into consideration with diet, when you really get into it, but it's best to start simple and set a foundation.

As far as a routine is concerned, you're not going to get "Run and do push-ups and sit-ups" out of me, because that's a terribly unbalanced routine. Do you have access to weights or a gym? Or are you looking for body weight stuff?

Thanks for the reply. The only equipment I have is a treadmill. 3-20 dumbells and barbells up to 50 lbs
 
Building muscle and losing fat (you can't lose fat from just one area btw) are two different things. Both require good diets (in different ways), but muscle requires resistance training whilst fat to require Cardio.
 
You can start any type of exercise and make it a routine. Jogging or swimming or cycling anything is fine. Make sure that you are doing this exercise at least 5 days a week for an hour. Also, make sure that you are taking care of your nutrition.
