well first of all you do not need to lose weight...especially not 15 pounds!!! if you want to tone up try starting with an ab work out like 8 minute abs...do some walking or jogging....do some pushups or curlups.....just eat healty...do NOT deprive yourslef of food tho whatever you do.
Eat more protein than carbs, and try not at all to combine the two in one meal (leave at least an hour before eating protein if you ve just eaten carbohydrate).
Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.Beginner s Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com
