I also hate the gym and this sounds almost exactly like what I do. For the last 3 months I've been alternating between running through my neighborhood (2 miles for ~20 minutes) and weightlifting at home (~30 minutes) a total of 5-6 times per week. Running you can do pretty much anywhere and any time of the year with the right outfit as long as there isn't snow/ice on the ground. For the weightlifting I bought a pair of adjustable weight dumbbells [1] and just follow along with a YouTube workout at home (there are tons of them).
So far this has worked great for me. I've gone from 213 -> 192 pounds and built a little bit of muscle, though not a ton because I've been eating at a moderate caloric deficit. Diet is a huge component depending on what your goals are and I had to learn to love salad. Once I get down to 180 pounds I'll probably switch things up and start eating more and lifting more frequently in order to bulk up.
