Hi there.
I'm not sure whether you're a guy or a girl, and it does make a difference.
I can say, though, that if you're a guy and you're 6'4" and 160 pounds, you definitely don't need to lose weight at all. You could probably use to build some muscle and tone up, but losing weight doesn't need to be your goal. In fact, if you're 160 and 6'4", you're actually underweight.
However, if you're 6'4" and weigh 260, I can help you out.
I don't want to make any assumptions about your gender. Could you let me know whether your a guy or a girl, and if you meant 160 or 260? I'll give you more detail once you help me clear things up.
Talk to you soon!

^Take a look at that. 160 is actually right around where you should be. If you're 6'4", you have to realize that you're going to weigh a little bit more than shorter people. If you weighed 120, you'd look like a skeleton and you'd be seriously undernourished. If you're not as toned up as you'd like to be, however, here are some tips:
Cardio is good for aiding in fat-burning. Jogging and vigorous walking work the same muscles, so don't feel like you're not getting a good workout if you're not running. Pushups are good, too - you can do those anywhere. Just make sure you have good form (flat back, arms squared off, etc), and don't overdo anything. Crunches are also good, but they don't actually help eliminate stomach fat, they just strengthen core muscles.
As far as foods, lean protein, fruits, veggies, and whole-grain complex carbs. Some refined sugar is fine, just make sure it's all in moderation. To boost your metabolism, try eating small balanced meals every three hours. It'll be a little odd at first, but it does help. The only problem is when you do that, you start actually needing to eat every three hours. That's good, it means your metabolism is speeding up.
If your community has any kind of gym, you should consider joining. There are some workouts out there that are extremely effective and only take half an hour or so.
I'm doing this minimalist workout that's three different sets of supersets (one exercise straight into another) with 45 seconds of rest between sets, and it's one of the best fat-burning workouts I've ever done. I'm in and out of the gym in half an hour if I don't stretch or add any other routines to this one.
It requires some machinery though.
Let me know if this is helpful. If you have any other questions, drop another one in my inbox to make sure I see it.
Good luck!

Female.

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.

I've been a member since 2004, and since I signed up, I've gone through quite a lot and learned quite a lot from it. I'm here to give guidance where I had none; no one should have to go through the difficulties I went through alone.

Feel free to visit my website/blog, if you want to read my experience with domestic violence and my thoughts on it.

***While I do tend to answer mental health and other health-related or medicine-related questions, I am by NO MEANS a licensed physician or practitioner of any sort. Any and all advice I give for these questions is from my own experience or studies.***

If you need to get a hold of me quickly, my screen name on AIM is SirenCytherea. Just let me know you found me here.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that there are no stupid questions except the ones left unasked, so, please, keep an open mind, heart, and mouth.
