Resistance training.

It will build muscle, which will amp up your metabolism, which will make burning fat easier. You’ll also be stronger, look better, and be much less likely to injure yourself. Learn and be diligent about using proper form and don’t push too hard.

Note: muscle weighs more than fat, so remember to look in the mirror and take measurements…your weight is only part of the equation.
