Answer 1

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 is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), weight training a few days a week but never work on the same muscle group two days in a row (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:)

Answer 2

If you are short on time, you can build muscle, use more calories even while sedentary and lose inches. Since muscle weighs more than fat, weight loss may not be dramatic but you will be smaller and more fit.

Although it is difficult to do, you should look into slow motion weights. Proponents claim that you can do this for less than an hour total every week plus you don't break a sweat.

For aerobics in a hurry, I would do spinning twice a week for an hour class each time. Total time for both: 3 hours a week.

Answer 3

Losing weight steadily is the best!

1) Eat more steam food, lean meat, vegies and fruits

2) Cut out the junk food, soda drinks and snacks

3) drink plenty of water / green tea

4)
Exercise - look at combining weights and cardio into your program. you can look at alternating upper and lower body exercises without rest, say bicep curls, then lunges , rest and repeat. With cardio, try sprinting 100m, jog 100m and repeat.

6) if you have cravings drink water or eat fruits

do as much exercise as you can walk to work.. or a ride a bike.. around 30 minutes a day 4 times a week is great.. at work if you are sitting down sit there and raise your legs then lower them it may not seem like much but every little helps and doing this will burn some extra fat.. just stick at it :)
