There is no healthy way to drop 20 pounds that quickly. The more excess fat you have on your body, the quicker you can drop weight. However the only way to lose weight successfully and keep it off is through diet and exercise.
You need to start weight training. It will not bulk you up, especially if you have no history of lifting, and most people lack the genetics to look like a body builder anyway. But lifting weights will help build and strengthen muscle, which will increase your metabolism.
To burn fat, you also need to get on a cardio regimen. Jogging, the elliptical machine, biking - aim for 5x a week for 30 minutes to help lose weight quickly.
You also need to cut calories - aim for eating 1500 a day if you need to drop weight quickly. However, when doing this it is absolutley CRUCIAL that your 1500 are pure nutrition. Cut out refined sugar, high-fat foods, and avoid processed foods because they are full of sugar and sodium.
Sodium will make you retain water and leave you bloated, cutting out sodium will help you lose that retained water and lose weight. (You still need some sodium because it is an important electrolyte).
Instead, focus on lean proten (chicken, turkey breast) that is baked or grilled (nothing fried - it's added fat and less nutrition!). Vegetables and fruits are a must - raw is best, they lose nutritional value the more you cook them.
Look for whole grains, with fiber and low sugar content.
When in doubt, look for food items with less than 2g of "SUGAR" per serving, avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup or anything like that in the ingredients list -- you're best off shopping the outside of the grocery store (produce, meat counter, bakery for WHOLE GRAIN BREAD) and avoid the isles filled with processed, unhealthy food.

People who plan their weekly meals will be more successful at losing weight than those that don’t. Plan your dishes to incorporate healthy carbs such as fairly sweet potato and wholegrain pasta, greens and lean proteins, buy the many ingredients in advance and don’t be tempted to consume out or order in.

Suck that in. Consciously hold in and contract your stomach muscles while you’re walking, sitting at the desk or making the evening meal. This will help to strengthen your ab muscles and your core, and provide you with one step closer to a flatter stomach.

Beans, beans, are beneficial to your heart, the more you consume the more you... lose fat actually. Super-effective and full connected with fibre, beans will regulate your appetite and slow the rate at which the stomach empties, meaning you stay fuller for longer.

Eat goats cheese rather than regular cheese. It contains 40 % fewer calories than the cheese made from cow’s milk.

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.
1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.
2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.
3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.
These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

Keep a small water glass, which you have to refill often, instead of a huge water bottle on your workplace.
