How do I tell my wife that she needs to exercise and lose weight?

No, really. We’re trying to conceive, have an uphill battle to do so already and her health is a factor. But she’s so very sensitive that she doesn’t want to hear the truth.
The trick is that she’s home alone all day, and we’ve moved to a new city where she doesn’t really know where to go to get out and do things.

She thinks she eats relatively healthy, but she snacks all the time.
I exercise myself, but she never joins in and if I ask her she behaves as if I’ve asked her to levitate or cure cancer or something. I’m in decent shape and she knows it. I’ve approached it as wanting a workout partner but gotten nowhere so far.

The fertility problem is on her side. She had surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy that resulted in the removal of a section of one of her fallopian tubes, (which are longer than usual), so now we’re flying on 50% thrusters, so to speak, and because her periods are long and somewhat irregular it’s difficult to time.
