find daily calorie intake 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 - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta 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:)

Reduce fat intake, refined sugars, white starches. Increase fresh fruit and vegetable intake. Create an appropriate caloric deficit by using diet and exercise. Plan on slow, gradual loss, with periodic inexplicable plateaus and gains.

I walk down the street and back in my neighborhood. Also, I do crunches. I've started eating better too. And since summer is here, go swimming!

portion control, diet, and cardio exercise. any exercise that get the heart rate up, running, bike riding, and eliptical machines. try doing it with a buddy. so they can push u o keep doing it wen u want ot give up.
