Back fat: Your best bet to lose weight is to eat better (low sugar, low carbs, more veggies). At least 30 minutes of daily cardiovascular exercise also helps. Weight alone will not do it, but weights in combination with cardio activity does wonders. Wall pushups build core strength, shoulder and arm strength, and get you ready for body-weight push ups.

Several things: Without surgical or other noninvasive procedures, you won't readily be able to spot reduce fat. Your best bet is to work at losing overall weight. A wall push up is a variant push up that allows you to go through the motions but reduce the amount of weight necessary to complete this motion. It's a good way to learn the basics of this movement.
