    Eat in a calorie deficit

    You could eat less.

    You could also add in strength training, maybe you would be happier with your body at this weight.

    Weight loss starts in the kitchen. Are you using a food scale to weigh everything? Do you consistently log everything, and verify the entries you are using to make sure they are correct?

    When you don't have a lot to lose, there is little room for error, and you have to be much more diligent in tracking what you eat.

    You might also want to calculate your TDEE, factor in exercise, and make sure you are eating at the right deficit:

    Calorie deficit. You can exercise for two hours a day but if you are not eating at a calorie deficit, you will not lose.

    Calories in versus calories out. If you get more calories than you burn you will gain weight. You either overestimate your intake or you overestimate your burn. Either way you can't out exersice a bad diet. Make sure you weight all your food and reduce untill you lose weight again.
