Do not go for a diet fad, all our bodies are different, so why follow the same diet for all of them? Here are some tips to help you lose weight!
Drink at least 8 glasses of cold water every day. Cold water actually uses up calories because your body can't use the water when it is too cold, so it uses energy to heat it up.
*Stop drinking soda and sugary juices all together, they do nothing but harm your body.
*Eat smaller meals, but more meals throughout the day. Never skip a meal, because you skip a meal, overeat at the next meal, feel bad, skip another meal, overeat again, ect. DOES NOT WORK!
*Veggies and fruits are your friends! Plus, eating pomigranite (the actual fruit) can curb your appetite, plus it will take you a full hour to pick out all that stuff in the actual fruit :)
*When you eat, be sure to sit up straight and have a little pillow on your lower back. This will help your brain realize it is full. It takes the brain 15-20 minutes to realize you are full!
*When you eat, take 3 bites, a sip of cold water, 3 bites, sip of cold water. This will help your brain realize it is full.
*Get smaller plates and smaller knives and forks. Why? Studies show that a group of people with big bowls and giant spoons will eat TONS of ice cream before full. While people who have little bowls and need to eat the ice cream with tiny sample spoons still eat that little bowl of ice cream, and they feel satisfied and full!

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

you don't really need to lose weight, but you should weight train with low weights and high reps to keep you toned without added bulk, also do cardio for about 45 min. 5 times a week to keep you lean.eat 5-6 small meals a day of clean food and when you really crave something have it and don't feel guilty.

You sound like you're at a healthy weight....but don't take my word for it. Calculate your BMI (body mass index) and that will show that you're at a healthy weight for your height. I think that exercise (especially strength training) will always increase muscle mass, but that's a good thing...the more muscle you have, the quicker the fat burns. Good luck!

find a gym buddy (preferably male) and push each other to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. If you live in Tempe you can tag along with me. I'm tired of going by myself all the time.

Realize that with your thinness, your musculature is only going to become more pronounced, and there is a degree of plymetrics involved in running. Impacting against muscles...
You sound pretty petite as it is though. I wouldn't obsess. Focus on fitness, not vanity.
