Need help starting

I'm 6''1', roughly 145-150 pounds, and am by no means "fat", however I do have fat around my obliques, abs, and chest area thats a nuisance (especially the chest area because I'm pretty self conscious...big nipples and all). I bike during the summer, but in Chicago it's way too cold to start until March-ish. My diet is so-so, I eat well by most people's standards but I almost never eat breakfast, and 3-4/7 days I miss lunch. I have a bench press at home, and have access to a gym. I know this sounds cliche, but I'm looking for relatively fast results, and yes, I know results don't show for a while. What can I do to lose some of that grabbable fat around my waist and chest area?
