From the nature of the question i'm assuming your new to diet and exercise so here's some of the solid tips for losing fat to lose fat in any area of your body you have to do it all over, it's not so much about exercise but more about diet.
This question is asked alot so ima just copy and paste my awnser to these..
try to eat 20% calories from fat of your total calorie intake in a day. Try to also get an equal balance of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fat.
-You have to count calories to lose weight. If your burning 1000 calories walking 10 miles, but then that same day eating 3500 calories,you'll never see progress
.. I'd say eatyour BMR calories (you can google a bmr calculator online) a day in numerous small meals.
-6-8 small meals keep your metabolism running all througout the day. So it's far better to eat many meals and small portions
-Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
-Try to make sure you don't eat to many carbs or fat at once.
-unless you really understand nutrition labels try to stay away from proccessed foods and stick with whole foods. Such as instead of eating a tv dinner buy chicken, bake it, buy the veggies and steam them and then have an orange or something natural.
-If your a big fan of meats try eating White meat of chicken and turkey (watch your sodium levels with turkey). Tuna is great if you like it. This will help you get whole protiens but stay clear of the saturated fat that comes with many meats.
-exercise in the morning if possible, your bodys more prone to exercise when you first wake up it's ready to burn calories but later in the day it can take a bit of mental preperation to start a workout. In addition if it's an intense exercise like HIIT your rmr is faster throughout the day.
-If your a light exerciser like walking or very slow jogging then you can exercise as much as you want in the day, but you can choose a hardcore stamina training style like HIIT or long distance jogging then give your body recovery time. A stamina building routine is better in the long run and is more time efficient so you don't spend as much time having to burn calories.
-Also the very moment you wake up eat something with complex carbs in it, such as fiber. Protien too, because it kick starts your metabolsm and try to eat fairly soon after any execardio exercise sessions.
Healthy weight loss is 2 lbs a week typically it can be done faster though and stilll be healthy but unless you have radical surgery or something don't expect much more than that.
also when you eat less than 1200 calories (for most ppl or a lil lower than your bmr) every day to diet basically starving yourself, your body will go into "starvation mode" and instead of your body burning off stored fat it will horde that fat and get it's energy from the protien in your muscles and your muscles will dissapear and thus you will burn less and less calories everyday due to a slower resting metabolic rate.
Eventually your diet WILL plateu if you do the same thing all the time. To avoid after 6-8 weeks of losing weight, try to take a week off and eat the same number of calories you exert. Then go back tot he 6-8 weeks. Remember also the first week or so most of the weight you lose is water weight =/ So don't get discouragesd after the 2nd or 3rd week.
If you lift to sustain to cut try and get 50% protien/30% carb 20% fat diet. So A lot of protien but the rebuilding of hte muscle tissue with the absence of carbs induces ketosis and increases the calories burned at rest during the day. However this is really a male thing not for girls or you'll look to toned and defined.

Either is a well begin. You would possibly not burn simply stomach fats. When you are gaining weight, wherein ever you acquire first, would be the final position you free, more often than not. So, do your aerobics and turn off in order that you aren't getting bored, and seem at a few weight coaching. Also, comprehend that you can must devour a distinct quantity of fats to burn fats. Increase your protein intake, and stability it with greens, a few fruit and the proper form of fat. Read Enter the Zone - the creator has labored with plenty of best athletes.

There are no "miracle ways"
The best is to tell yourself "whatevever I put in my mouth, I need to burn in the form of exercise"
Walking is possibly the best, keep in mind if you had a light breakfast, salad for lunch and maybe skipped tea - you can cut your walk in half.
Try to get into the habit of being aware of the food you eat and equal the input ratio with an equivelant output ratio........walk/jog/gym
