find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats and it will tell you how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight. take 300-400calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones.
5-8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
8 glasses of water a day.
4-6 times a week cardio work out for 30-50min plus light weight training.
no junk food, no sodas, no white flour (white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes etc)

They have a free food tracker and can also calculate all of that for you, just by putting your information in. the website is 100% free and I use it myself.
Frankly though, your Body Mass Index is in the perfectly healthy range and I wouldn't think you'd need to lose anything.
