Diet and exercise: Exercise, exercise, exercise....Increase your exercise to 5-6 times per week at least 30 minutes to an hour and get your heart rate up. Once you are in the groove, add some muscle strengthening to your routine. This needs to be a permanent lifestyle change for you. Additionally lower your calorie intake and count your calories on a website like fatsecret.Com or sparkpeople.Com. Drink more h20!

Eat less food: You can't ask a general question and expect a specific answer. Your weight is determined by a balance of caloric intake and caloric expenditure. If you consume more calories than you expend, you will gain weight. To lose weight you either have to expend more calories (exercise) or eat less food; or both.
