There are two ways to address it. You can either cut the calories, as your body is not using though, thus they get stored as fat, or you can do more exercise which burns the calories.

For example, if you are not active, and by "not active" is basically you don't go out of your way to do any activity, a simple diet of cutting your calorie intake to 1000 is usually a good start.
