The way I lost 10 pounds was basically by going on the abs diet. This diet consists of eating 6 times a day. Breakfast in the morning 2 hours later eat a small snack, then lunch then another small snack then dinner and one last snack. The purpose of eating 6 times a day speeds up your metabolism, and keeps it going. For instance, if you eat one meal a day your metabolism will slow down a considerable amount there for it takes longer to digest the food. Also while eating these meals it says to exercise at least 5 times a week.
You can only lose 1-2lbs a week while maintaining good health. That means two months gives you about 8 weeks, or 8-16 lbs that you could lose. Also, keep in mind that absolute weight is not a good goal to strive for, as it can vary due to muscle and bone density. If you want to "lose weight" you should look at goals centered around your body fat percentage, which can be roughly calculated with a fancy bathroom scale, or a tape measure and some calculations. Lowering your caloric intake by 250 - 500 calories (depending on your basal metabolic rate) and increasing your exercise (especially long and sustained aerobic exercises) are the two methods to go about changing your body fat. Don't lower your caloric intake by more than 25% or else your body will start to think that it's starving and hold onto fat above all else.
In terms of exercise, the longer you exercise in one session, the more efficiently you burn fat. After 4 hours of sustained aerobic exercises, you're up to 70% efficiency. After an hour or so, you're at 30% efficiency. After you finish cardio or aerobic exercise, it's also important to eat some carbohydrates and protein to replenish the glycogen in the muscles and to help build more muscle tissue. If you don't have the fuel handy, your body will break down muscle (not fat).
Eat more veg and fruit. Eat a varied amount of food groups. Do some cardio exercise such as running, swimming or brisk walking for weight loss.

a. Do 40-45 mins of cardio 4-5 days in a week b. Take up weight training and train with weights 3 days in a week (whole body workouts are better) c. Eat a bit lesser than your needs. And watch your macro nutrients. Eat high protein, moderate carb and low fat diet d. Drink plenty of water e. Sleep properly. Without proper sleep you wont be able to work harder to reach your goal. f. Track progress every week and make adjustments to diet, workouts etc based on progress. For example. if you lost 2 lbs in first week and only 1 lbs in second week, then increasing a little cardio exercise would be a great idea. g. 2-2.5 lbs weight loss per week is ideal. Don't try to lose more than that.
