Activity level + calorie intake will dictate what your final weight will be.
Adding an hour of walking per day after a month, you will lose 5-25 Lbs depending on your starting weight.
Reducing calorie intake by 25%, you will likely lose another 5-25 Lbs depending on your starting weight.
All energy burned vs. energy taken in (food). Find a balance, mind you, if you want to lose fat, the energy burned has to be higher than energy taken in.

And on that note, even decreasing what you put into things will help. Like I have cut out all grease. I used to make an ommelette in the morning with greasy bacon and processed cheese and eggs and butter and all that shit. You have to learn to not stop eating what you like, but to make it in a healthier way. This morning for instance, I used 2 egg whites, chopped scallions, one slice of canadian bacon and mozzarella and a light canola oil spray. Even though it was very tasty, it was ATLEAST 50% less fattening than what I used to eat. I usually do the whey powder in the morning but Tuesdays are my "cheat" days where I eat solids at breakfast time. That breakfast I just described provided me 3 proteins light on the carbs plus I added in one complex carb by eating half a multigrain english muffin plain and I got my veggie serving by a 6 oz. glass of low-sodium V8 juice. Delicious breakfast full of all kinds of good stuff.
Something as easy as adding one less teaspoon of sugar to your coffee or eating half a sandwich where you would have normally eaten a whole one will help. It's pretty easy when you think on those terms.
