Help me with 3 sentences

Hi!
Can someone here help me with explaining the meaning of the words with bold?



I was once morbidly obese. I simply ate too much and sat on my **** too long. I did it on my own. Easy, just reduced what I was filling my gob with and got out a bit! Not difficult, just a bit of determination that is all.



I’m talking about yob culture, because we have had yet ANOTHER murder in overnight, and it really is getting out of control now, but what can be done about it.


I grew up on the outskirts of , and have known, and do still know a lot of the "old school" type villains, and they would be horrified by what is going on today.

The use of "villains" here is odd, it may be a BrE thing.

As to the others, with all due respect, they are all easily looked up using any search engine.
