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:)

There is no way to spot reduce dont listen to anybody who says there is. It makes no sense. Doing crunches will not help you lose fat on you tummy. You just have to lose fat all over. Everybody stores fat in different places. The first place to gain weight will always be the last to come off. Eat right, work out. Thats it, less calories in that out.

I agree with the first poster. You have to lose fat all over your body. Yoga is a good low impact way to achieve that.
Or check out the exercises in the book 'The Cardio-Free diet'.
They are very effective.
