more cardio (dont count calories burned since they are no way precise), no heavy weight lifting.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

Hi, you seem to be doing everthing right. I think you might want to count the calories of those small meals.
Basically, a person needs 15 calories for each pound of weight. So to maintain your weight, you should eat 2880 calories per day(15 times 192). So to loose a pound(3200 calories) a week, eat 457 calories less per day(3200 divided by 7). So you can loose ten pounds in ten weeks without too much trouble. That might trim your waist.
It is hard to reduce one part, maybe less stomach work if your bulking muscle up there. More cardio if you can find the time.................good luck

It sounds like you have your eating under control. Are you counting your calories and have yourself on a diet? If so then the thing that you need to do is to increase your cardio. If you get worn out on the treadmill then get on the bike afterwards. If your not going to a gym then after you run do jumping jacks....or just something less that you can handle for longer and keep on going. If you are not running you need to start...350 calories is not that much. You may even want to stay with the same exercise and just go for 15-20 minutes longer. Remember to stay hydrated...push your limits but also know your limits. Good luck.

soups can be both filling and comforting try making a garden or bean soup with low salt broth and store in portion sized cups for later

Proteins takes more time to digest than carbs so eating protein will make you feel full for longer
