At first, you should start with the basics, and as your body strength increases start doing the excercises with simple weights. Do pushups, everyday, as many as you can. If possible, do the "diamond" pushups (the one where you place your hands very close together, and your fingers sort of form a diamond.) Then do lots of situps. A situp with a little more cardio kick to it would be the one where as you are coming up, you raise your knee and bend forward even more, and touch your elbow to the opposite knee. Done quickly, you'll work up a sweat in probably less than a minute, and these work wonderfully. Great with a 20 pound weight in your hands, too, that's a really good workout. You'll also want to jog more than you usually do, and if possible, do it in sand. If you can't run in sand, rockclimbing is a fun hobby to take up. Chin-ups are also a good strength workout. It may be boring, so listen to some music while you work out, and stick with it! You don't need fancy equipment to lose weight and have a star-like body. If you have stairs nearby, run up and down those for cardio and leg muscle toning. you can even be creative and make up your own exercise!
