Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
First of all, I'm 5'5" and 135 lbs., so I know where you're coming from! (Except that I'm ten years older so anything I suggest will work tons faster for you, so take heart my friend!) And like the previous responder said, your height/weight ratio is totally healthy and normal and cool.
Basically: weight loss is all about portion sizes for your meals. I mean: yes, of course, go exercise. That's healthy, that's important, that's awesome.
But you won't start to *really* see a difference until you change your diet. Sure you'll build endurance, build muscle tone under the fat, etc., but it's the change in what you *eat* that will make the most noticeable difference.
I had an event coming up last spring that I had to lose about 10 lbs. for. (A part in a show, the costume was weird, whatever.) I was short on time so I joined a gym for $20 a month and went there every other day to work out on the elliptical machine for about 20 minutes, then I went around to most of the weight machines, then I hopped on one of the bikes for about 10 minutes before heading home. Didn't seem to do much for weight *loss,* but oh man did I feel great and energized! And I know that it helped raise my metabolism, which I ten supported with (ta-da!): changing what I ate.
To change my diet I started swapping out meals of my usual junk foods for things like tuna fish on Wasa brand crackers and things like that instead. Bolthouse Farms makes some awesome juices that are super thick and full of really healthy ingredients so I drank those a lot, I drank tons of water, I cut out soda completely, and that was it. I really didn't change that many things about my diet. Just cut out a few things that were easy to let go of, traded in a handful of new things, and instantly started losing weight.
You really can do it, it really is possible! You just have to stick with it and remember that whatever you're about to eat may taste awesome, but in about a minute that taste will be all over. There's no sense in starving yourself, and there's no need to padlock the refrigerator, but there's no need to sabotage a plan to eat healthily either. :)
Good luck-- you can totally do this!!

Your weight is perfectly fine for your height, but I'll assume you want to get toned up so you have a nice body for your bathing suit.
Firstly, I'll state this first, you can't spot tone, nor is it a fast process. You have to do any sort of cardio (walking, jogging, etc.) which will tone your whole body, for atleast 15 minutes so your body warms up. Weights will also help you tone, and sit-ups, crunches, etc. anything that targets muscles.
Secondly, watch out for what you eat. No fast foods, junk food, etc. Such as: instead of eating a bag of chips, bring (or buy) fruits. Also, always keep yourself hydrated, water helps your metabolism speed up, which will be to your advantage if you start doing cardio.
For motivation, if you have an mp3 player, you can listen to your favorite music while doing so. Or looking forward to how your new body will look. Or treating yourself to a small healthy treat afterwards. Whatever fits your liking.
I hope this helped you.
