Keep a decent sleeping schedule so that you eat breakfast when the Sun has just risen. Not feeling lazy at the start of every day does wonders.
Keep a good diet, one that tastes good, not that you have to force yourself to swallow. I hate oats, and I won't eat them no matter how much /fit/ praises them. Eat eggs, vegetables, fruits, chicken, turkey, salmon. Follow the meal plan from http://iwantsixpackabs.com. You're going to feel hungry, because your body is used to overeating, but as long as you're nourishing yourself every three or four hours, your body won't actually be hungry.
Find a distraction when you want to indulge. Masturbate, play video games, read a webcomic from the beginning to present. There's no switch to turn the hunger off, you just need to keep it at bay until it passes and you find yourself involved in something else.
After eating healthy for a week or two, you'll feel better mentally and physically enough to start exercising. At bare minimum, grab an MP3 player and walk for an hour. It'll be weird at first, but make it be part of your schedule. Don't worry about not doing enough if you're not feeling the burn. It's a slow process for the body to get used to activity after being overweight and sedentary.
After that, find a work-out program that appeals to you. Google beginners HIIT or StrongLifts 5x5. Go the gym no matter what, keep up your martial arts.
Find excuses to go outside. If you were going to order something, for example a video game, from the Internet, go out and buy it in person instead. It is NOT hogwash when I say that being outside, in public, in the Sun, will keep your mind off of overeating and help you maintain your focus. Go food shopping for yourself twice a week. As I already said, WALK.
It can't happen on its own, though. It never will. If you want to get a truly muscular and fit body, it's going to take a change in your life's dynamic greater than anything you've ever experienced.
