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:)

Weight lifting or resistance training will help you gain muscle. And since muscle burns more calories than fat, you will lose some weight IF you eat healthy and don't eat more calories because lifting makes you hungrier. If you're hungrier, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water.
Here's a calculator that may help you figure out how many calories you need and where they should come from...
