    4 tablepsoons is way too much honey. One should be enough.

    Have a salad with the tuna instead of the burger bun. Ditch the maltesers as a lunch option. There's nothing but sugar there. You should have a source of protein with each meal (lean meat or fish).

    For dinner you need something more substantial than fish fingers and boiled egg white! Veg with meat and a small side of carbs on workout days. I like some sweet potato wedges or a portion of brown rice.

    Do some weight training along with your cardio. Get a gym instructor to show you how to use free weights.

    calories. eat less of them, do this by eating mostly real food and still enjoy your favourite foods

    That is the single most important food advice you will ever get, ever all that matters is how many calories you eat. And you can eat less of them by tracking them, or by eating in a manner that makes it almost impossible to overeat, e.g eating real unprocessed food 90% of the time.

    The nutrition sticky in this very forum will teach you all about nutrition

    This calculator will tell you how many calories you need to eat to reach your goal

    Be consistent, exercise 3+ days a week you can probably reach your goal by October. That is a bad goal by the way, confining yourself to an arbitrary number on the scale.

    What if you weigh in in october and you are 131 lbs but you look and feel better than ever and you have a new lifestyle that allows you to maintain your weight? that is a better goal

    Going to be blunt here
    *Eat more protein and fat
    *Eggs are fantastic: but while egg whites are a decent protein source egg yolks are where it's at in terms of nutrients, vitamins minerals etc
    * Eat less junk, a 37g pack of maltesers which have no nutrients, has over twice as many calories as 2 large eggs
    * Beef, lamb, bacon is fine to eat also it doesn't all have to be chicken
    * Think of food as nutrition rather than something that is bad
    * Throw out your scales
    * If you take @marsbars advice you'll look fitter and leaner, feel better and be healthier.
    Good luck
