Pairing exercise with a healthy diet is one of the best things you can do for your body. Depending on your gender and body type there are many different paths you can take when it comes to working out. I will cover the more broad categories today.
People wanting to lose weight
If losing weight is the goal, diet and cardio will become your best friend. For girls eating around 1900 calories (very rough estimate) should be enough to drop some pounds, paired with regular cardio (4-5 times per week, high intensity, 30-45 minutes). For guys same formula but with about 2300 calories (again, rough estimate).
People wanting to maintain weight
Maintaining weight, in theory, is pretty simple. First, over the course of about 2 weeks check the average amount of calories you are eating. Next, continuing eating that amount plus ~300-400 more and adding weight lifting and some cardio in. Choose a program that you would enjoy doing and stick to it, consistency is crucial!
People wanting to gain weight
Gaining weight can either be very hard or very easy, depending on the person. Check your caloric intake over a 2 week period and add about ~700-800 more calories. Lift more heavy weights 5-6 times a week and limit cardio to 2-3 times per week. You should be on your way in no time with this plan!
