Dude,
You cannot spot lose weight from a particular area of your body, this is a complete and utter myth. Unfortunately weight is lost simultaneously from your whole body at the same time and at a very slow pace.
If you are doing weights that is good but you need to up the cardio. Start running on the running machine with at least an incline of 1 or higher and build your distances and time up. Try interval training on all the cardio machines….. 2 minutes slow pace, 2 minutes fast pace and keep going like that. This is a fantastic fat burner and gets your heart racing.
You can also tone your muscles in the areas you want to reduce the fat which will help when you actually lose the weight. But you need to start doing some cardio (swimming/running/climbing etc..).
Hope this helps

Sound vice above in regards to interval training. This will really help rev up your metabolism for the day. However i would not advise the timings listed above as realistcly who can sprint for two mins with a high intensity……lol I would go for 30 secs sprint 60 jog x6 to start with and then you can increase the repititions as you get fitter to increase overload. You could also decrease the time spent jogging. If you want to solely lose as much fat as possible then shoot for this 4 times a week, though if you are trying to build muscle go for just two times a week. For you i would reccomend 3 times a week though so that you will lose fat at a good rate and maintain muscle.
PS The key to losing Fat is cleaning up your diet so make this your first priority.
