Diet/exercise: Weight loss is a numbers game. You have to expend more calories than you consume. Eat less/exercise more.

Many ways: Start simple with 20 minutes a day exercise, low glycemic index carbs, 1 oz water per kg and decrease daily calories by 500 for each one pound you want to lose per week.
