Make sure you're eating CLEAN, no processed or fast food, eating whatever you want is only going to set you back. We need good, clean carbs to help in weight loss and don't forget your essential fatty acids, & healthy fats. I could go on forever, but if you already feel you're eating healthy than simply cut your calories --anywhere from 250-500 calories a day should work, if you're losing 1-2 lbs a week then it's working if not adjust slightly more every two weeks. Do not go too low or else your body will go into starvation mode and it will want to hold on to every last calorie, so the weight loss will be hindered. Keeping track of calories does help, another technique to calculate how many calories you need for weight loss would be to take your bodyweight x 12. Therefore for you, it would be 1,704 calories a day. Divide this between 5-6 meals a day, with every meal have protein, carbs and a healthy fat. OR you can also try carb cycling, with this you would eat a higher amount of carbs on your training days, will low carb days on non-training days. You might also try making your cardio workouts, interval training. Where you sprint for 30 sec, jog for 60 sec, so on and so forth for 20 minutes. It's a pretty intense workout so start out slow! Keep changing things in your workouts it will give your body the kickstart it needs and yest you do have to lift heavy, you are NOT going to get bulky and heavy reps with light weights are really a waste of your time.

It blocks adenosine, a substance in the body that prevents the burning of stored fat. So you can access your bodies fat stores directly and get rid of it easier.

If you want to lose weight and not bulk up then add more reps with less weight. If you add more weight, you will end up bulking up and gaining muscle weight. Also try cutting your calories back, try not to eat too much fruit because it has lots of sugar, which can add to your glycemic index, and turns into the same thing as a candy bar in your body. Carbs aren't necessarily bad, as long as you are smart about it. Whole grain anything isn't necessarily bad for you, as long as you use moderation. If you find that one day you can't go with out over doing just a tad, then the next morning add another five minutes to you cardio and do another two reps on your weight set.
