I am not telling you to look like these women, I am not telling you that you need to do these things, I'm not telling you to do something which is "easy" or build muscle. But I am going to give you two types of workouts to choose from. What I'm also going to tell you is to stick to the task, work at a level you feel comfortable and work consistently and you will achieve the results you want to which to lose weight and not to build up muscle.

One other thing I want to add is that you can't lose weight in one specific area, all you can do is lose weight on your body overall and eventually fat would be lost around your abdominal area (that is your stomach area).

If you want to lose weight quickly, you'll have to do interval training or circuit training where you are working your maximum for a short period of time repeatedly. Jogging for extended long periods is different because you are only moderately working the body and thus fat is slowing being burnt unlike interval training.

If you want to exercise outdoors, (in a park etc.), I suggest you sprint for around 20 to 30 seconds around 5 to 8 times with 30 to 50 second breaks in between by walking (don't stop walking during these breaks!).

I recommend you spend around 5 to 10 minutes of warming up before you start performing the main exercise (which is the sprinting). Your warm up should involve a light jog to work the heart so you feel the blood pumping around your body. I also recommend do short drills like a few high knee runs or heel flicks to get your body ready to sprint and stretch a lot (don't worry too much about how to sprint; as long as you are running as fast as you can, you will be working the body up to the standard you should be anyway).

For indoor workouts (circuit training) all you have to do is something like squats or pushups for a couple of minutes or so (as fast as you can). You could also be do something subtle like star jumps if that's too hard for you. Search online for exercises you could do or add to your workout regime.

I just want to remind you these workouts, if done effectively and consistently, you would lose the weight you want to within 2 to 3 months.

Dieting shouldn't really be a problem as in don't worry about calories because indirectly these workouts burn the calories you build up anyway. What you really need is to, in terms of diet, is just eat foods that fuel you the energy to do the workout such as carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice etc.) If your muscles are sore for , eat protein which comes from meat, beans, bread, cereals. But really just eat what you usually eat unless you feel what you eat already is really unhealthy.

Hi. I bodybuild, and have reached a pretty advanced level for a 16 year old, and I know what I'm talking about. So take this answer seriously.

The foolproof method? Count calories. You want to estimate your maintanence calories (im going to give you an estimate of 1800-1900) but you will need to experiment.

Everytime you eat something, you will need to either look at the nutrition facts, or estimate the calories (this comes with experience). Everytime you eat something, change the amount of calories you ate total that day.

Id say just start cutting right off the bat. Start eating 1500-1600 calories a day, and weigh yourself every morning after taking a dump. Don't worry if your weight fluctuates, this will be due to other factors such as sodium intake and water weight which you do not have to worry about.

Look for a general trend in your weight, you should see it start to drop slowly. Don't eat too little calories, as that will not be sustainable for long. If you aren't losing weight anymore, drop the calories by 100-200, so then you'll be eating 1400-1500 (dont go too low though, you won't drop weight any more efficiently)

No idea why I just spent all that time writing that ha ha but take this advice seriously and you will lose weight for sure. I've gone from 177 lbs -> 163 in about 2 months while preserving pretty much all my muscle mass.

idk it's a lot in a short time. I'd recommend you read this link and do something similiar. I think it's a pretty good way to lose weight and stay in shape

Aside from supermodels if any celebrity you like lost a lot of baby fat qucik, I'd look into that, but always be sure to be healthy

If you were fat, 20 lbs in 3 months is not too difficult.

Given your current weight, I'm not sure you'll find it so easy. The less fat you have, the harder it is to lose.

Can I ask how old you are, do you buy your own food, how much control do you have over what you eat, how much time do you have available for exercise and what if any equipment you have access too?

The control over what you eat (vs. other people cooking it and giving it to you) is most important to answer. Also I'm not giving advice if I don't know your age, because if you're still developing you're not doing a damn extreme diet.

Sign on to a scientifically managed plan like Weight Watchers and follow it religiously. That should be good for about 15 lbs in 3 months. If you also start a workout plan and follow it, you could do even better, without risk to your health or sanity!

I'd recommend belly dancing classes, both for fun, and for the core muscles, as part of a workout plan!

You should go to the gym, and watch out for your diet.

Eat less. Exercise more. Aim to lose 1-2lbs per week.
