What exactly are you eating and what exactly is your exercise regiment?
I'll tell you what I've been doing and I've been seeing some fantastic results-
"Diet"
I eat healthier, plain and simple.
Breakfast = Eggs with a thin bagel OR Kashi cereal with 2% milk and nonfat yogurt OR Kashi ceral with 2% milk and a banana or an orange
Lunch = Tuna melt on rye or grilled chicken on rye with fresh-cut veggies
Dinner = Spring mix salad with fresh cut veggies, light Italian dressing
Snacks = 1 midday Special K bar OR a few Sun Chips OR some pretzels OR nonfat yogurt OR 1, 100 calorie pack snack
I allow myself one treat a week. I'll eat something bad for me at a restaurant for my dinner OR drink some alcohol if I party OR eat dessert. Once and that's it.
Exercise
I start with 15-20 minutes of cardio on the elliptical or treadmill doing interval training of levels 1, 4, 6. Then I'll adjust the speed to 10 on the elliptical and 7.1 on the treadmill and all out run for 30 seconds, then speed walk/jog for 2 minutes then repeat for the entire 15-20 minute duration.
Then I move onto arms, I use 10 pound free weights and do 50 lateral raises and 50 bicep curls.
Then I do leg curls on weight 4 and leg presses on weight 7, 50 of each.
Then I do abs, 100 regular crunches with my knees perpendicular and ankles crossed then 100 leaning very far back with a 10 pound medicine ball close to my chest, rotating my abs left and right.
Then I do planks, holding for 30 seconds, and 10 of those.
Then I do push-ups and sit-ups, 25 push-ups and 30 sit-ups.
Then I do squats with 12 pound free weights at my sides in each hand, with my back against the wall for 30 seconds, 10 of those.
Then I do walking squats and lunges, like 50 of those with the 12 pound free weights.
I think that's it...
Good luck! Obviously what works for me might not work for you but it should give you a jumping off point or a comparison.

Look.. most people over or under estimate what they're eating. Count calories. Every time something touches your mouth write it down on a piece of paper. Just do it for a day and see what's happening with your diet.
The most important thing with losing weight is diet and despite what you think you can eat unhealthy just cut your calories. link This will help you realize how many calories :)

good fun, just be sure not to do that stuff :P
But ya, exercising regularly. Only thing you really need to do. Watching your carbs is good too (but I'm really not sure how to do this myself cause I don't know what carb intake I take atm. Pretty sure it's below ideal since I only eat one meal a day and drink water, but whatever lol).
if it means anything I think you look like your weight is perfectly fine
