Put the cat on a diet. By "diet", I mean you need to regulate the food your cat is eating. Also, enticing your cat to play and exercise several times a day will help. If you free-feed your cat (keep a bowl of dry food down all day), you need to take this away and feed your cat small meals at set intervals - maybe three times a day. This may take a while for your cat to adjust, but its for her/his own good.
Ideally, your cat should be on a wet food diet. Good, high-quality wet foods have high meat content in and no grains. Grains, which are found in cheap wet foods and many dry foods, is what is most probably making your cat overweight, as its overeating to try and get the nutrients it needs (dry food doesn't contain much meat based protein which is what cats need). Cats cannot digest grain or corn, so it just gets converted into fat. The best thing about wet food is a cat will often eat less of this as it has far more nutrition than dry.
Good quality wet foods are high in Protein and Fat, and because cats are strict carnivores, they use these two nutrients as their primary source of energy. Be sure to look at the ingredients - The best cat foods are the ones with a very high named meat content (labeled as Chicken, Turkey, Rabbit, Lamb, Tuna, etc.) as the first, or first three, ingredients.
This conversion can take several months for cats to get used to, and several more months on top of that to get your cat at a ideal weight. Cats need to lose weight SLOWLY, as losing weight too quickly can lead to many health problems. You might want to invest in a digital scale for this so you can check up on his/her weight once a week so you can check the progress.
Maintain the food schedule, so put a ball of food down in the morning for around 30 minutes, if the cat eats, good, if not, after 30 minutes take the ball away. Put it back down at dinner time, 30 minutes, take it away, same at tea time. This will stop the cat from eating whenever it feels like it.
