First off, you are not vegetarian. Chicken and fish are animals--they don't go on trees. I'm tired of non-vegetarians perpetuating the myth that you can eat animals and still call yourself vegetarian.
That little rant over with, weight loss or gain is a simple matter of calories in vs. calories out. If you consume more than you burn, you gain weight. If you burn more than you consume, you lose weight. Concentrate on fruits and veggies primarily. You absolutely need a minimum of 1200 calories a day, but fruits and veggies are low calorie and will fill you up, leaving a little more room for other things (although you'd be surprised how quickly calories can add up).
Exercise--cardio especially--is important. Not only does it burn calories, but it also keeps your metabolism working. Go easy at first and build up to more. It doesn't have to be a workout, it can be anything from running to jumping rope to talking a walk--anything that gets your heart pumping and your body moving.
You can't spot train, but you can get in better shape all over.
Good luck.

its a little unhealthy to lose more than about 2-3 pounds a week.. your best bet is going to be cardio. as in running for 10 minutes. walk for 5. run for 10. and walk for 5. and always strech. do stair laps if you have stairs in your house. if you want muscles in your arms as you loose weight then you can do some butter flies and chainsaws. to learn hwo to do these right look it up on google.. other wise you should just jog and walk. (the more up and down your heart has to go the more fat your body burns) DO NOT GIVE UP.. i hope this helps you.
