Avoiding junk foods is a good first step. Basically, everything is healthy when consumed in moderation, except for junk foods (pizzas, burgers, sweets, cakes, sodas, ...). You can have a cheat meal from time to time and eat some junk food.

The only reason for fat is that you eat more than you burn. It's simple math ;)
People usually underestimate the number of calories they eat and overestimate the number of calories they burn by daily activity and training. For tracking the number of calories you eat, you can use some app, like MyFitnessPal which is free. A number of calories burned can be estimated (there are some online calculators), but for something more precise you need smart-/fitness-watch.
