i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

if youre not the type to hit the gym, then all you need to do is walk every day for about 20-30minutes. if youre willing to work harder then you should do some crunches with an exercise ball (stability ball) & for your calves you should run and/or do mountain climbers. (stand with feet hip width apart, bend at the hip and touch your hands to the floor bending your knees. then, kick one foot back & then quickly kick the other one back like your running.) Another good calf exercise is to use a step and stand on the edge of it toes & ball of toes only. Let your heels hang below the top of the stair and then lift yourself up. Do this about 3sets of 15reps roughly 3 times a week and your calves will be hard in no time.

Most importantly eat a healthy diet and try to add some more protein to your diet as well.
