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.
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, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Cut most sugar from your diet except for natural sugars from fruit, no regular soda (diet soda is ok in limited amounts of course) absolutely no fast food, no white bread or any white flour, only whole 100% grains, plenty of water, lots of vegetables, a good quality multi-vitamin supplement. Also, do 30-60 minutes of cardio 6 days a week. This is how I lost 50 lbs. I used to be a size 13/14 and now I'm a size 3/4. Just be patient and consistant, I promise this will work for you.

At 5"2 you would only have about 10 pounds to lose, and that is if you want to have what most of us girls call the perfect figure. Becareful though about wanting to have the perfect figure and lose the weight slowly.

Using the numbers you provided, I calculated your BMI (Body Mass Index). You are a 21.9.
The BMI categories are:
* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Obviously you are in the normal weight zone. So you have nothing to worry about.

You are not even overweight. Have you had your body fat percentage tested to find out if it's at a healthy level? You can lose a few pounds, but I think maybe it's more of a case of toning up in your case.
