Hey big guy,
Before you do any type of diet at all, you should probably go to the doctor and get the full workup. You could start on something and find out you got some disease and make it worse.
You are in Japan, and mention you need to find an English speaking therapist. Is that a good idea? Do you need to be in Japan? If you don't speak Japanese this just seems pretty difficult.
Also, I bet everyone there looks at you funny. That probably leads to some discomfort. Why don't you move to Omaha or st. Louis where there's many other people with your issues, and many more treatment options.
Aloha!
Kona is right and I am surprised no one else said this before he did.
Make sure you are not having some major issues before you start your journey. Get your testosterone levels checked and your overall thyroid/Adrenal gland health. If those things are not in decent shape, you will plateau hard at some point. When you are really big and start losing weight, the loss in numbers are big at first, then you will bottom out, and not lose much more. Even 5 pounds a week will be harder, even if you dropped 50 in the previous 3 weeks, all because of hormones. Don't be that guy that works out 5 times a week and cannot even lose 3 pounds and has zero clue as to why. That shit is so 2005, don't be that guy.
Instead of a long ass post, the TLDR of supplements that can help you in these areas are Optizinc (2% copper), vitamin D, DIM (Diindolylmethane) (bascially powdered broccoli that gets rid of excess estrogen off your stomach area). Get a good multivitamin and if you do weight training, get some amino acids as well.
Anyway, get some bloodwork and a physical first to make sure you don't have something serious so that you don't pass out in the middle of a gym because you had no idea you were diabetic and your blood sugar was too low or something else no one here thought about to tell you.
Whatever you do, do not attempt to use hardcore gym workouts like you are on the Biggest Loser TV Show or attempt Crossfit stuff. That is not only physically dangerous, but if you burnout too fast, you will put all that weight back on quickly. This needs to be more of a lifestyle change, not a quick fix.
Keep your head up, you will be just fine. We all have your back.
