the single most important thing you can do in your effort to lose weight is to rent a ral medicine book on endocrinology. not some bullshit. a real book that university students and practitioners refer to.
all you need to know about metabolism will be laid out in the first 30 pages. but read the whole thing. everything the media wants you to believe is the polar opposite of reality. read a real book. lose your weight. you need zero exercise to lose weight (it will help, obviously, but it is absolutely not required).
since you want to know about how to help other people with that information - explain it in plain terms.
specifically, you want to understand what adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is, does, and how macronutrients turn into it.
the other piece of information you really need is that 90%+ of your daily energy consumption goes towards thermogenesis (making sure your body stays warm), assuming an average lifestyle.
your body has a daily need for about 100g carbs. thats why you are absolutely addicted to them. because if you dont get them, you DIE (over time. you dont die immediately, theres plenty of storage in your muscles and liver and other places). intentionally dropping your carb intake below 100grams will make weightloss happen.
not eating carbs can be hard, until you understand that you can eat an almost infinite amount of chicken breast instead. for example. season it. eat it with a side of cancer sauce if you have to. the cancer sauce may not be the most healthy choice of food, but its less deadly than a heart attack at 35.
you can make a burger out of slices of protein bread, chicken breast, cucumber and some ketchup if you have. takes two minutes and wont taste worse than anything mcdonalds puts out.
anything else barely matters. this is your 80/20. If you want to have a decent exercise routine, head over to stronglifts.com and do that program. its free.
