Patrick, exercise in the AM works well to raise your metabolism for the rest of the day. At your age, you should do some weight training to help maintain lean muscle mass and bone density. This is something that is more important for women than it is to men, because of what happens to a woman's estrogen levels at a certain age.
Muscle is heavier than fat, but it also burns more calories at rest, which also serves to increase your base metabolic rate.
Soda pop is poison, even if it is sugar free. You would be better off drinking beer or wine, IMHO. There are many that advocate for tea, rather than coffee, particularly green tea. If you want to drink something on a hot afternoon, drink iced tea, rather than a Coke.
