Need specific exercises for a specific kind of person!

Hello! I have a sort of specific body type, and a specific diet. I am posting this on both the diet forum and the exercise forum because I really need advice in both areas.
I am a 6' 2" male. 23 years old. I weighed myself today at 190 lbs. I am fairly slim in most areas except for my tummy. It's not huge, but in a relaxed, standing stand, it measures 39" while my waist and chest area are both only 36". That may not seem like a huge difference to you, but in relaxed standing position, it definitely does stick out irregularly. I should be able to wear shirts in medium or small (all my arm, torso length, etc. measurements look good with small and medium) but I wear large because of how it sticks out.
I don't eat meat besides seafood. I don't eat horribly unhealthy, but I don't eat wonderful either. I do love vegetables, but I also love carbs. I drink coffee regularly, and I have anywhere between 1 to 5 beers a week (but it's scattered, mostly with dinner. I don't drink a lot, I don't get drunk). I am a cheese lover and probably eat more cheese than I should. I am not really picky about food. Besides not eating meat, I don't really dislike sweet potatoes and stuffing. I'll eat almost anything else.
My family is going through a rough time with their self-owned business and they have been for years. Therefore, grocery trips are not often. Therefore, I'm stuck going out to eat a little more than I'd like. Sometimes when scrounging for meals in the house, I don't always come up with the best, most healthy meals.
I don't eat a lot of junk food. My teeth are sensitive to candy, so I hardly eat it. Not huuuge on chocolate either.
I work a desk job and I work at least 8 hours a day. I don't get out as often as I'd like because of this. I have a habit of eating before I go to bed but I've been trying my BEST to break that habit. In the past two weeks, I've been walking about 40 minutes a day, going from fast walking to average speed on the treadmill. Haven't noticed much difference, especially in weight.
Hopefully that gives you a good idea of what I do and who I am.
What I am looking for is the most specific and elaborate help as far as exercise and and diet as possible. I realize this forum only covers one of those things, so feel free to comment however you see fit. Like I said, I am posting this in two forums since I'm posting about diet and fitness together.
Thanks so much!!!
