Weight loss program for a 15 year old male?

Hi, I'm 15, 5'8 (maybe 9 inches), and I weigh roughly 173 before I eat anything.

On a day to day basis I drink 4-6 cans of soda, eat 2-3 meals a day, sleep for 8-10 hours, and get little to no exercise because I sit on my Xbox all day.

School is coming soon and I want to try losing weight. My long term goal is to lose 30 pounds by Christmas.

I have already started replacing all of that soda with water and I'm going to start getting a better sleep schedule for school.

I was wondering if you guys have any helpful tips for losing weight and I would also appreciate any exercise/workout routines I could do in my room (I'm a shy person and don't want to go to the gym plus my mom doesn't want me running miles outside since we live next to a highway). I was also wondering if gum is a good replacement for snacks like chips.

Thank you for your time and help :)

    If it's sugar-free, then yes, gum is a good replacement. I would recommend trying tabata workouts since they are quick and don't require a lot of space. Just be sure to avoid processed food, and the pounds should melt off like butter! :)

    Swimming is an excellent form of exercising for surfers for a lot of reasons. Firstly, it is wonderful for cardio fitness along with endurance. Secondly, if you break from your surf board and leg line you'll need to be able for you to swim competently
