If I might add a little.

Diet is key, cardio and weight training are also very useful, I would prefer HIIT over conventional cardio. I always make weight training a muscle gaining routine and cardio a fat burning one so lift weights to gain strength and muscle so increase weight and concentrate on the basic whole body lifts as hrpiii suggested. It takes more calories to sustain muscle so the more muscle you carry the more cals you burn automatically.Contrary to the post above you should limit sugar intake, even natural sugars, never eliminate fat intake, it is essential for fat loss and healthy bodily functions. What you must watch is the type of fat intake. You should be getting about 25%- 30% of your daily cals from fats, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fats. A good general rule to follow is 1/3 of each. It's not just about calories in versus calories out, macro's are important. You should keep track of everything you eat so as you can make adjustments depending on your progress. For fat loss a good starting point might be around 30% carbs, 40% protein and 30% fat. This can be adjusted as every body is a bit different. You should also eat 5-6 meals daily if possible and practice carb tapering, eat your starchy carbs early in the day and mostly fiberous carbs later in the day. Eating after about 7pm is not recommended, again this will depend on your daily schedule, if you do snack at night make it something useful like a slow digesting protein (casein) no fat or low fat. cottage cheese is a good example.
