Ok, did you explore being commissioned? It's not STEM but the Navy, the military in general, still believes that someone with a degree is teachable.
As a note, my degree was in Social Studies education and I went to flight school.
If I wasn't so nearsighted, I would have loved to go to flight school. Alas, though, I have a -3 diopter prescription that I rely on just to be able to not trip over my own feet and read road signs and stuff.
At your age/weight/height your sedentary metabolic rate (BMR) is 2,100 calories. So if you cap your calorie intake to 1,500 per day and don't exercise at all you'll lose just over a pound a week. Assuming you're burning closer to 2,800 calories per day, you can theoretically lose between 2-3 pounds a week.
Now, here are two very important pieces of advice:
1. Don't get snookered into any complicated diet program where you need calculators, charts, and graphs. Keep it to straight calorie counting and find things that you enjoy to eat but which also fit your budget.
2. Focus your efforts on accurately tracking the food you eat and the associated calories. You may not know for certain how many calories you're burning, but you damn well can know how many you've consumed.
Also, regarding exercise tips, Malloric already gave you awesome advice, use it.

Ok, but I just used myself as an example of degree. There are dozens of billets you'd qualify for. Public Affairs would be one.
