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.

you can do lots of crunches to get your abs really toned but you wont lose that layer of fat over your muscles without doing cardio. if you dont want to run, walk for at least 30 mins a day.

eat less carbs..especially white bread, potatoes and pasta...do crunches and drink a couple of quarts of water a day...

Your mid section is dependent on your diet.
