quite simple actually, just skip a meal or two per day. Your body needs only a set number of calories and the rest it can take from your body fat. That will make you lean eventually. Working out/exercise will help also.

Dieting is so easy. A rough way to get results is this.

1 Calculate BMR.

2 Exercise daily for X calories.

3 Eat Y calories.

4 Make sure Y = BMR + X - 500

This will allow you to burn 500 calories a day, which comes out to a loss of almost 1 kg every two weeks -- a realistic goal that gives your body the ability to adjust to the weight. You never want to lose too much too quickly.

I lost 20 kg doing this. I don't know why obese people can't do the same.
