How Can Excessive Body Fat Be Reduced?

Hi I ve gained weight in the past 3 months and I have a wedding mid February that I need to lose weight for. Can you give me a diet plan? Keep in mind that I am extremely picky when it comes to food. I only eat pasta, rice and I will eat any type of chicken. The only vegetables I eat are broccoli and string beans. The only fruit I eat are watermelon, pineapple and sometimes oranges.
