Before you start getting into martial arts, I suggest you spend a month or so building up your cardio and core (abdominal and back muscles). Running should do.
That said, I'd probably go with arnis (personal bias). Very no-nonsense system, and the modern styles teach you the basic punches, kicks, and locks.
You might also want to try kick-boxing or plain boxing - they've got the fundamentals down.
