Just a few things that will probably look obvious:
1. The body is like a bank account, calories go in, and calories go out. It really is that simple, if more go in than out, you start gaining weight; if more go out than come in, well... :) So, it's not of much use to do, say, one hour of exercise and then eat a chocolate bar that will put right back most of the calories you'Ve burned. You're gonna have to check what you eat.
2. Simple stuff: Cut the snacks, replace chips and munchies for fruit and vegetables, Trim down your portions. Eat everything, just eat a little bit less of each and avoid the quick way out when hunger strikes.
3. Exercise for cardio and weight loss is great, but if you want a six-pack you're gonna have to do some weights mixed in with the aerobic. If you're interested in muscle building don't look as much at your weight, rather look at the size of your clothes. Muscle is dense and heavy, and you can lose quite a bit of size without losing much in the form of weight if you replace fat with muscle.
EDIT: And, thus, the two biologists agree. Rejoice! (Hi Armin!)
