I'm looking for a diet plan.

Just as there a billion "diets" out there, there are a billion exercise plans with which one can be very successful; and in many you do not set foot in a gym.
I agree it's not the only way, but I feel that for most people, like 99%, a well balanced strength and conditioning program is tantamount to long term health.
Crossfit, in its original form was on to something. Unfortunately, as it's become main stream, watered down and plagued by a slew of shitty affiliates, I can't in good conscious blindly recommend Crossfit. There are still some excellent gyms out there, however, I think you will eventually see them rebrand to more traditional strength and conditioning type gyms in the coming years. Crossfit has run its course and gone full retard, but what it originally brought to the table is something people with half a brain can capitalize on.
If you can find a true strength and conditioning gym in your area, I would highly recommend seeking them out. Strength and conditioning (basically old school Crossfit) with good coaching produced the most well balanced, healthy athletes in the world.
ETA: I'm a firm believer that while there are other ways to lose weight such as cardio, slashing caloric intake etc; a well programmed strength program is tantamount to long term health. Everything is strength based. Lifting weights makes you stronger, healthier and harder to kill.
All of the people I know of ( and I know several) that are 50+ and kicking it hard all have one major thing in common amongst others... they've lifted weights their whole life.
