So is this possible? I need to get rid of 10 kgs and I don't know whether it is a good option to take gym into account, besides diet.

Exercise combined with diet will speed
up your weight loss because the exercise
burns calories and boots your metabolism.
The only thing is if you drop the diet and exercise after you loose
the weight, you might gain it all back plus maybe a little extra.
That is what happened to my dad.

In order to lose weight effectively, you need to understand how the human's body works when it comes to weight management.
Tons of research shows us that controlling your weight is directly related to one's BMR. As a result, we will first look at what that means. Every individual's body, in order to help the person and their organs survive, burns a certain amount of calories in 24 hours. Note that this is true even if you wake up in the morning, sit on your bed all day long and do absolutely nothing. Your body will still burn that amount of calories. That's what we refer to as one's BMR, or Basic Metabolic Rate. Each individual's BMR differs, depending on current weight, height, genetics, etc. Bodies of people with "a fast metabolism" naturally burn more calories, than those of people with "a slow metabolism".
The very first step in changing your body composition goals should be to figure our what your BMR is. The number doesn't have to be exact. As long as it's close-enough, you can go with it. Thankfully, there are so many websites online that help you find out your BMR. Simply Google terms like "what is my bmr" or "how many calories do I burn per day", and I guarantee that you'll have your BMR written down in no time.
Now that you understand what BMR means, let's take a look at how the human body manages one's weight, and how the process is directly related to your basic metabolic rate.
I) Weight Gain: occurs when there's an abundance of energy in your body. Let's say Mr. X burns 2500 calories per day, and he eats 3000 calories from food. In this case, his intake is higher than what his body naturally burns. Mr. X's body is dealing with a "500 caloric surplus", which the body doesn't need at all. There's a very high chance that the calories will turn into fat, and get stored on his body.
II) Weight Loss: happens when your body is in *need* of energy. Let's say you burn 2500 calories per day, and you eat 2000 calories from your food. In this case, your body is in a "caloric deficit of 500". In other words, your body NEEDS 500 calories to help you survive. This is EXACTLY the point at which your body becomes capable of breaking down your adipose tissues (fat cells) and muscle tissues to get the required energy.
Weight loss in short:
1) Determine your BMR.
2) Eat below your BMR.
3) Lose weight!
Now, as other people have mentioned, if you happen to hit the gym regularly as well, of course, your body will be burning many calories during your exercise sessions. It'll be up to you to place your body in a "caloric deficit", and exercise can definitely help with that.
Good luck.

Take your fat to the assisted-pullup station. You'll never lose it there.
