I keep hearing I should be lifting weights...Anyone in their late 40s have this issue. I need to lose about 15 or 20 pounds and more importantly about 10 percent fat.

Help?
I eat LOTS of fruit and veggies, only whole grain, some lean meat or alternative protein, low fat dairy and some good fats. Pretty well no processed food, only a little dark chocolate for dessert, red wine most days. Lots of exercise. It works for me. YOu can count calories at first to make sure you're not eating too much. Also, 6 small meals instead of 3 big ones.

Google the mediterranean (sp?) diet (the DASH diet is similar). It's more of a lifestyle than a diet.
