Okay first off, middle of June is not a lot of time for you to have an extreme weight loss. Diet and exercise properly but pace your weight loss. Don't starve yourself/kill yourself to loose a lot of weight in a small amount of time. This obviously isn't good for your body/health but also the weight will come back on just as quickly as it came off. Be patient, its well worth the wait. Once you start to loose weight and see changes in your body, you'll be so focused on loosing the rest of it that you won't be upset if you don't loose an extreme amount in a certain amount of time.

Start off with 30 minutes, 5 days a week. Then increase the time the more comfortable you get with cardio. But switch up the workouts. I highly suggest you run for maybe 15 minutes, then jog up hills for 20. Or do cycling for 30 min and run 20. To see extreme results you have to really push yourself and be motivated.

It's roughly a month till mid June. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to lose that much weight in that short time.

Also I would look at body fat percentage more than weight, particulary if you are doing a lot of weight lifiting.

To lose that much weight and still keep it somewhat healthy, you should do cardio 6 times a week for about 60 - 90 min. Perferably before breakfast and in intervals as it will help weight loss. Additionally, you should lift weight on three non consecutive days out of those 6, perferably in the evening and eat mostly protein afterward.

Loosing weight is mostly cardio not so much lifitng weights in your case. Yes, increasing muscle mass will speed your metabolisim, but in one month the effects won't be that big. To build up real muscles you should plan at least 3 months.

If you're morbidly obese it's possible but otherwise you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

You have to lay out a strict diet plan with calorie counts for every meal of every day. Study the foods you eat.

Then you need a lengthy cardio plan and an extreme cardio plan. For lengthy cardio sessions I just did basketball drills, like running up and down the full court making lay-ups, dribbling, and pacers. For extreme cardio routines look up "insanehomefatloss" and Mike Chang has a lot of routines you can look into.

Yo can do cardio daily so long as you rest enough to stop aching.  Do all your body can handle without getting stiff and crippled in the morning.
