I need advice with loseing weight and a workout program

[03R1]

This is my first post so id like to introduce my self
my name is eric, im 23 and definilty overweight
im 6'2 bout 275( havenet weighed in a while so i dont know how accurate that is)
that is what i weighed when i started working out

i just recently started going back to the gym, when i was younger i played soccer and football and was in pretty good shape, but i sprial fractured my tibula fibula and growth plate, im sure you know thats a pretty serious break and was forced to not do anything at all for 6 months in which i gained alot of weight and became lazy and fell into a rut of not eating right, and since i broke my growth plate i was unable to play sports untill i was 21, that time i became lazy and out of shape, and now i am tired of it, and im trying to get back into shape

my goal first is to loose alot of weight, then to bulk up, i want mucsle but i dont want to be huge, i want to be defined, i want to be strong, trim, athletic i dont want body builder big, i want to be like i dont know brad pitt comes to mind, hes not huge hes defined he muscular hes ripped

now my concern is will i have problems with skin and such when i start losing all this weight, iv been reading alittle and have heard about some creams that help with strectch marks, and others that help with the elacstisity of the skin so i shrinks while you loose weight but i dont know how much of that is true, i dont want extra skin

iv read that i should be at about 225ish with the mucsle im looking for


id really appreciat some help with my above questions and i have couple more

first id like some suggestions on what to eat, and how to loose weight, im looking for a diet to loose weight with and work out on, iv heard to go easy with the workout untill i loose the weight, and that also helps with building muscle, like starting small and working up or somthing


and also like some help with a workout schedule, now im just doing some random stuff, i dont have a set schedule of what to do, and i really need a schedule, id like one for now to help with loosing the weight and later when the weight is gone, and i want to start building muscle and get the definition



thank you very much for any and all help and information, it will be greatly appreciated and i promise to keep you guys updated with my progress
