If you want to lose weight go on a diet and walk places. If you want to get into shape start swimming. Also, remember that in the case of getting in to shape "quickly" means a few months.
Don't try to do it quickly. "Quick fix" suggestions always result in putting weight back on. They're unsustainable, bad for your health, and usually just a way of depriving suckers of their money.
1. Eat appropriately. Calories in minus calories out is a good basic assessment, but try to go with that food pyramid they crammed down everyone's throats in high school. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water, too - not "8 glasses a day", that's a misrepresentation, but enough to stay well-hydrated.
2. Get some regular exercise. Don't try to break any world records to start, but keep scaling up. Do what works for you - the gym, going running, swimming, rock-climbing, dancing - just do it consistently and regularly, and increase the duration/intensity as you get fitter. Cross-training is probably a good idea once you've established a pattern for exercising.
3. Stick with the changes. This is the hard part. Don't fall back into old habits, and eventually your new ones will replace them.
OT (slightly) - getting dumped and going vegetarian seem to help; everyone I know who's had that double - myself included - has shed at least 10kg and dropped one or two belt sizes. Not eating meat helps you drop weight, but it makes it harder to put on muscle.

Eat right (That could be quite complex if you're trying to follow it to the note)
Work out (That is, warm up, train, train, train some more, stretch, take a shower and eat again lastly. Try and make your training vary, so you won't look like those cartoon superheroes.)

I believe there are more examples you can follow.
But this is what I can think of if you want to build up muscles fast + naturally.

For muscle size: anabolic steroids and Growth Hormone and strength training
For fatloss: dinitrophenol (look it up, it's the ultimate fatloss product)
Now if you don't wanna use either of those 2 (and I don't advise them, except maybe DNP under SUPERSUPERSUPER strict supervision of a doctor, which will never happened because it's illegal)there is no way it'll happen 'fast'. Just eat right, do both cardio and strength training and you'll get there eventually.

Run and run alot, that will help with just about everything. Next start doing cardio, jumping rope is a very easy way to accomplish this. Pull ups, push ups and sit ups will help you tone your muscles. Then you can start hitting up a gym, but there are ways to train without relying on a gym membership, but it takes some creativity and a bit more discipline.
Diet is also important, cut out just about all sodas, you'll see crazy results from just this one thing. Watch your sugar intake. Eat colors, sounds stupid, but isn't try red meat, fish, vegetables and fruits.
