I'm still going to give tips on lifting weight in case you decide you want to do it.
losing weight is extremely simple. Exercise at least three times a week for an hour and eat balanced meals. A proper plate should consist of 1/2 veggies or fruit, 1/4 complex carb (such as brown rice, quinoa or wheat bread, etc), and your protein should be the size of your palm. For exercise I think weight lifting is most effective (don't worry about getting bulky, women lack the necessary hormones to get muscles like men), I think it's more effective because it burns calories long, and build lean muscle which burns calories by just existing. If you want bigger muscles (example, larger butt or arms) then do heavy weighted exercises with low reps (low weight high rep) and if you want smaller leaner muscle do low weights high rep (this basically toned preexisting muscle. And add about 20mins of cardio of your choice. This is what I find most affective but great at home workouts like blogilates or tone it up on YouTube are great and free.
Staying motivated us hard, but I suggest making a vision board. It sound stupid but it works (mine has a picture if my setting or before body and next to it are a bunch of pictures of my dream body) seeing how far I had come or was going really set the tone of my day and reminded me what I was working for. I also keep one picture of my dream body on the fridge so that it reminds me to make smart choices about what I'm eating

Nice! Looks like a good routine, though I wouldn't worry too much about having a thigh gap as it's less attractive/important to guys than you'd think.
In terms of weight loss, the most important thing is to drink as much water as possible (by limiting your intake of pop, juice and other sugary drinks) and totally cutting out junk food. Lots of water plus 20 minutes of daily cardio, combined with 4-5 small meals per day filled with fiber and healthy fats (yogurt, fruit, granola, nuts, grains such as quinoa and brown rice, vegetables, avocado, etc...) will get you the results you want. Good luck!
There is an App called MyFitnessPal. It is amazing for tracking calories. I've been using it to gain weight while working out. It basically tells you how much you need to eat or how little to get to your targeted weight. One of the best apps there is.
*i was recommended this app by a professional weight trainer.

Actually diets don't exist. Real diets give a yoyo effect. Its better to start eating healthy. Lots of fruit and vegetables. Enough proteins to maintain your muscle and only healthy carbs and just enough to cover your daily energy need. You may loose weight more slowly, but it will last.
Then eat protein related food, so u can increase muscle mass somehow?
Chicken, pork, fish, beef with broccoli, brown rice, vegetables
