No idea where to start I'm so confused as to what to immediately cut out of my diet and what exercises for a beginner to start with?

What should I start eating?

I'm 6 foot or 6 foot 1 and 195 pounds with a dad bad right now that I want to at least turn into some muscle

Water. No drinks other than water or black coffee/ tea.
Understanding nutritional value better and counting calories (for a while). Intuitive eating has been sven better for me after that.
OMAD. One meal a day. Suited my hunger pattern for a long time and allowed me to feel full after a meal which I like while feeling light most of the day which I also like.
Home cooked meals 99% of the time. Literally. Maybe eat out once a month most months.
Enjoying feeling healthy, so liking eating the things I ate and working out etc.

Things I didnt need but do recommend:

Improved fiber intake.
Cutting all caloric drinks.
Know how much fat youre adding to your food, that tsp you just added are actually 2 tbsps.
Choose better carbs. Thats mostly about fiber content again. So whole wheat instead of white.
Dont mean to sound like that guy but good for gut foods. Yogurt, pickles and other fermented products.
The mental side. Know that a bad meal, day, week doesnt ruin anything. You don't need to be perfect, just improve in the long term.

I could go on forever but I'll stop here.

An old comment I made on a post about weigh loss, might help too.
