Get you a workout program from here and do it for 8 weeks and you'll see a significant improvement in your shape. As the shape improves you'll notice that the appearance of excessive fat will be diminished. On top of that muscle burns fat 24/7 so you'll notice that the fat will start to thin out. You'll notice from my pic that I lost a lot of weight...but without the weight training I wouldn't have the shape I do now.
