Anyone who tells you to "eat less" should be, first of all, taken out and forced to have their eating metered. As with most thin people, they simply eat as much or more than the average fat person but their metabolism is very bad and they burn up fuel. We pudgy folk come from people whose metabolism had to adjust due to exigent circumstances (like famine, extreme exercise needed to survive, etc). It's much harder for fat people to lose weight than it is for thin people. My own obesity doctor told me that. He's very slender and runs in marathons so he's not in denial. :)

You have enough to deal with right now. If you want to deal with diet issues, that's for you alone to decide and down the road a-ways. BTW, next time you see that "eat less" person, please spit in her/his face and tell them it was from me. :)
