Walk for 30 minutes every day, including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week.
Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Get rid of anything in your diet that is non-nourishing: mayonnaise and other condiments, salt, vinegar, white flour products and canned foods.
Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don’t starve yourself during the day, but if you don't wake up famished, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.
Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off the TV and the computer. Sleep is vitally important.
Don't consume alcohol—alcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation—I’m not debating that—but we’re talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the fat.
Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn’t almost clear, you need to drink more water. Your body will be extremely low on water before it signals you of thirst. Water is also used in ridding the body of waste. By having a cleaner body internally, digestion improves, energy levels increase and fat loss can continue.
Good luck.

Eat only when hungry. Eat not more than three times a day unless u r diabetic. Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span.

1) Walk at least a 1/2 hour a day
2) Lay off booze, sodas, or sugary drinks or snacks
3) DO NOT eat fast food.
4) Do some exercise that you get an end result in. Simply farting around on an elliptical bike or whatnot won't motivate you. Build something, go hiking, etc, etc.
5) Don't eat as many carbs from breads, pastries, etc. Stick with veggies and complex carbs you enjoy (pasta, rice)

Find a basal metabolic rate calculator online (there are plenty) and find out how many calories you burn each day idling. Once you have this number aim on a weekly basis to lose 1-2 lbs by shorting this number by 3500-7000 calories (500-1000 calories per day).
Leave room for moderation... dieting isnt a fascist regime: Just fill your 3500-7000 calorie "deficit quota" weekly. Meaning: you can go out and have beer... run it off the next day. You can go eat some Mcdonalds.. run it off the next day.
BTW at your weight you'll burn about 120 calories per mile so its much easier to just refrain from eating.
