Reduce weight: First of all, 5'9" and 185lbs isn't bad. To get leaner, eat the right portions, eat 3-5 small meals a day, cut back on carbs and sugars, increase lean protein/veggie/fruit/water intake. For exercise, do a lot of cardiovascular exercise. Elliptical, treadmill, spinning, etc. Get your hr up to target and keep it there for 30 min everyday. Weight lifting is fine too but cardio will burn off the fat.
