First off you are fine the way you are. You are normal weight. Weighing 103 pounds being 5'3 is considered underweight and dangerous. It is EXTREMELY unhealthy to loose that much weight in such a short period of time. If you want to shed pounds then eat healthy, do Cardio exercises like running, dancing, etc. For at home things you could run up and down stairs, crunches, sit ups, squats, etc. I would try buying a Pilates or Yoga DVD because they work the majority of your muscles.

The only thing you can really do is cut your calories A LOT and workout 4-6 times a week running, biking and weights. Running burns fat through the whole body and is probably one of the better cardio exercises you can do as it targets the whole body, doing interval training helps to speed up the process too, for example:
If you do a 20 minute run on an average of 5mph, every 2 minutes increase the speed to 7/8mph for 30 secs then return to 5mph, this will burn fat faster and speed up your metabolism.
Also weights help to increase weight loss as they increase your metabolism, so aim to do them 3 times a week as they help burn fat AND tone your thighs, abs etc. I know it can be hard to do 'weights' when you don't have any but your own body is one of the best weights you can use! Doing tricep dips on a bench, the plank and many other exercises help tone certain areas.
1-2 weeks before you need to get down to your ideal weight, you COULD go on a juice fast detox and only drink juices for that time with one solid meal a day, this can lose up to 10lbs and is very effective, but you have to be careful about eating too much after obviously lol.
So yeah, cut calories, sugar and carbs alot (about 1000 calories a day) and do lots of exercise and you'll probably manage it, if all fails at the end, juice fast for a week. I lost a 16lbs doing this for a couple of weeks, to be honest it's a quick fix, but if you want to keep it up you can:), if you find it hard to keep to..Have one day where you're allowed some treats so that you don't lose all luxury lol!
Drinking green tea 3 times a day helps to boost metabolism too and other foods you can find on websites help.
People will probably argue that you shouldn't be dieting so extreme and weigh so little but i'm only answering this because you asked, so i hope it works out for you:)
Just keep healthy and make sure you don't go toooooo extreme. [ chloekc's advice column | Ask chloekc A Question ]
