You can get good results if you take a balanced approach between diet and exercise. And for most people, diet doesn't even have to mean majorly reducing your calories, just change them a bit. Here are some suggestions:
Diet: Make sure you eat a protein rich breakfast. Eating breakfast will get your metabolism moving and that will burn calories all day. Plus the protein helps build muscle which helps burn fat. Next, don't drink your calories. Cut out sodas, juices, sweetened tea and coffee etc., 6 days a week. Just doing those two things could help a LOT if you're like a lot of people. If you can go farther, increase your protein and vegetable intake and reduce your consumption of processed carbs. Lastly, save 1 day a week to eat whatever (and I mean whatever) you want. This will make it easier to stick to the plan AND will spike your metabolism so your body doesn't just slow down.
Excercise. A lot of people focus on weight alone so they overdo the cardio and don't do any weight lifting. This is usually a mistake. You should do a mix. For the weights focus on the big muscle groups--legs, chest and back. For cardio, do 30-45 min of running or biking or even brisk walking 3-4 times a week.
Good luck!
-30 to 60 minutes of cardio a day(running,jogging, speed walking, swimming, jump roping etc) Anything that gets your heart racing and pumping
-Strength training 2-3x a week such as weight lifting(no, you won't get muscly) AND a little calisthenics(pushups, lunges, squats etc)
-Lunges & squats can be a girls best friend
-Eat healthy
