Take up cooking as a hobby. Even if you start with a meal company like hello fresh or home chef etc. Or look at recipe sites like allrecipes (there's lots of them). Then, portion control. I've found that using a smaller plate and never going back for seconds reduces how much I consume. Your brain knows how hungry you truly are. Then chew slowly. Enjoy every bite. You will then recognize that you are full and it helps prevent overeating. Look around you. Excluding teenagers, how many thin people do you see scarfing down food? Slow down, the foods not going anywhere. Add fresh produce to every meal. You will feel much better because of the fiber and nutrients. Pretty soon, you will actually crave veggies. Drink water. A lot of people overeat because they are dehydrated. Good luck on your diet-controlled journey!
