What is your daily calorie intake and exercise routine? Looks like you might be a little carb heavy from what I'm reading here.
Diet wise you should try to match your lean body mass in grams of protein and double that in carbs. For fat (non-saturated of course) it should be half your grams of protein. Ideally for an adult with a lean body mass of 150 pound the appropriate calorie intake to break even weight wise is 2,000 daily. Its 3,500 calories to burn a pound of fat. The problem is if you try to starve it out your body adapts and starts burning muscle weight instead of fat, and slows your
metabolism as well.
You can increase your calorie expenditure by increasing your lean body mass by lifting weights. Remember muscle always burns more calories than fat does. If you get yourself up to 14 miles three days a week on an exercise bike or 4 mile jogs 3 days that should be an extra 500 calories burned a clip. Figure consuming something like 1,600 calories coupled with building up to said cardio routine and you could be burning well over 3,500 calories a week. Just keep in mind you can't just full bore jump into this kind of exercise schedule you need to build your strength and endurance up over time.
