Just because you turn veg doesn't mean you'll lose weight. Honestly you sound like a guy who just returned from the pub alone having heard three good looking chicks talk about diets, vegans and vegos and you decided that's what you need to become to get a root.
We probably all eat too much fat, but unless you know where your fat is coming from it's not as simple as blaming meats. There is also different fats, some good some bad, but they are in everything. Obviously not re-frying your salami in an inch of melted butter would help cut down ones fat in take, but it's not the only place you get fats from. If you look at the nutritional panels there is plenty of fats hiding as different things, just like sugars and salts.
Salt is one of the biggest issues in our food these days, but what's the point of cutting out meat and replacing it with asparagus, if you cover the asparagus in chilli sauce just so it's edible. This is why a dietician makes sense. You tell them what you eat, what you like and even the things you would love but think they are no good and they will tell you which of those foods is effecting you.
Tired after work could also be a million other things. Not sleeping as well as you think, not sleeping long enough, getting your exercise at the wrong time of the day, eating at the wrong time. Simply saying I'm tired after work therefore I need to cut out X from my diet is as good as pushing shit up hill. If you are concerned enough about what's going on that you wanted to change make the first change a visit to a doctor and get them to refer you to a dietician or the like. Most of it probably comes on medicare so you wont even have to pay.
