(1) lose weight(2) safelyTo answer the first part, the bottom line is you need to burn more calories than you consume. To determine the number of calories you burn a day you need to add up the calories you burn during exercise (walking, sports, etc.) and add that too your base metabolic rate (bmr; the energy your body requires to function). There are plenty of bmr calculators on-line, and they aren t super accurate because your metabolic rate is partly genetic, and can vary significantly among individuals. Based on your height and weight, I d say yours would likely fall somewhere between 1500 and 1800 calories. If you burn 500 calories per day more than you consume, you will lose 1 pound per week. 3500 calories = 1 pound.To answer the second part (i.e., doing this safely), you need to consider your body s nutrient and energy requirements. You need to be sure you are getting enough calories (at LEAST 1200 per day, more if you are doing a lot of exercise -- The take home point here is that to do it safely, you CANNOT do it quickly -- If you are lossing more than 1-2 pounds on average per week, you are doing it too quickly). Another thing that is crucial to losing weight safely is nutrition. You need to be sure you are getting enough of your macronutrients (e.g., protein, fat, carbs) and then enough of the micronutrients (calcium, B12, vitamin C and iron are some of the big ones to keep an eye on). So, I would suggest focusing on getting plenty of exercise (aim for 45-60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise five times a week), and restrict your diet to the healthiest foods, that are rich in the nutrients your body needs. Finally, I would keep an eye on your calories, and try to stay within the 1500 to 1800 calories per day (more if you are exercising a lot), and see what kind of results you get. If you find with the exercise and diet you are still not losing weight, reduce your calorie intake slightly (~50 cal/day) each week, until you start seeing results (unless this means consuming less than 1200 calories a day -- then I would suggest consulting a doctor, because your weight issues may be do to a health problem (e.g., hypothyroid).
