Welcome. We are similar height. I know exactly how you feel! I started my journey to a healthy weight in May 2016. I am mid 50s. I am combining intermittent fasting and A LOT of road biking. It has worked for me so far. Good luck with whatever you choose.
I am editing to address your line that you are horrible at making healthy meals - that is a state of mind. Here are some ideas to get you started. Oatmeal (I sprinkle with flax meal and chia seeds), scrambled eggs (add some caramelized onion and green peppers), protein smoothies (add some spinach, flax meal, and ground oatmeal) are easy breakfasts. Lunch = can of tuna/chicken/protein smoothie. Dinner = bagged salad, steamed broccoli, a chicken breast (smash it, salt and pepper it, sprinkle a little lemon and pan fry it with a small bit of olive oil). Walk 2-4 miles a day to start if you want to add exercise. Snacks -- cut up veggies so they are always there and ready to eat. Buy some yogurt as a dip for them.
