Suggest Diet Plan To Lose Weight?

Hi
I am 26 years old female from Kerala. My height is 149 cm and weigh 123.5 pound (56 kg). I am working in software field and do not get much of exercise except for 10 minutes walking on a daily basis in the morning on my way to office. Its not jogging or any special effort taken in for the exercise option, but rather a routine. I have put on 4-5 kg in the last one year and now am concerned about this pattern and need a detailed advice on the diet plans that might suit me.
Am not sure what other details are needed for the proper guidance. Please let me know your thoughts,
Regards
LL
