I think that first of all, dieting doesn’t usually work long-term so you should consider your lifestyle and approaches to food. I feel like for an average person, reducing calorie intake can be effective and sustainable while also causing minimal disruption. It is also easier to eat less than workout more, although working out is still important for health which should be the overriding factor. Nutrition is more complex than simply calories in/out but it can go pretty far.
That being said, the easiest ways to reduce calories (in no particular order):
Reduce or eliminate alcohol
Avoid sugary drinks (or switch all liquids to water)
Avoid or reduce eating out (helps save money too)
Prepare more food at home (meal planning and cooking with friends/SO can be a fun activity)
