Limiting calorie intake as a first step?

M23, 5'6", 180lbs.

I have some health issues/allergies and eating's always been a challenge for me. When I was younger I was eating too little, now that I'm older I'm eating too much and have become overweight.

I thought, because I can't go all in/cold turkey and eat 100% healthy right off the bat, would it be ok to eat my regular meals but cut back on overall calorie intake? And gradually shift my diet to healthier options over time?

My meals are usually sandwiches, chips, and tea or soda because I'm limited to the microwave and rice cooker at the moment (I do make rice every once in a while). Ideally I'd like to have healthier meals, and more variety, but would this be a bad start?
