Answer

By going on Low-Carb, and maintaining a minimal excersize, you can lose lots. The first week you can lose about 10 pounds right off the bat and then 4-6 in the next one or two. The key is diligence with your diet and making those important sacrificeds.

Answer

I Would say exercise, exercise is so overated. Even if its light its still good. Im a simlar height to you and lost quite a bit of weight by just jogging 3/4 times a day and using weights. It helps to also eat the right foods. I eat as much carbs as i wanted and i loss weight. People say losing carbs you will lose weight but carbs are good for you, that doesnt mean eat a vast amount of them.

Also be patient, dont starve yourslef overwise when u come off your diet or change your eating habits, you will put it all on again twice as quick as you lost it. I used about 1800 calrioes a day and exercised 4 times a week and was losing 2ibs a week, however people react to differant diets.

Answer

If you have a lot of muscle, 190 will be in the healthy range. I suggest you cut back on food such as fried/greasy foods, bananas, cheese, juice, and refined sugar. Don't skip breakfast because it will lower your metabolism. And don't eat right before bed (that's how sumo wrestlers gain weight)
