I'm a 20 year old female, 5'5, currently about 142 lbs, and trying to get to 120-125 lbs.
In the past month or two I lost 10 lbs, but currently finding it difficult to maintain the weight loss. I eat around 1000-1300 calories a day, and I go walking/jogging for about 30-90 minutes 5 days a week, which I burn around 300-500 calories each session. I don't know how to continue from here, any help would be great. Thanks!

I would recommend adding weight training to your regimen two or three times per week. The weight training will help raise your metabolism, which will allow you to burn more calories. This will make it easier for you to maintain your weight.I also recommend that you drink more water. If you are consuming calorie-containing beverages, then it will be a lot harder for you to maintain your current weight. Additionally, I recommend adding interval training to your regimen. Interval training allows you to burn more fat and calories in a shorter amount of time. It will also help you boost your metabolism. There has been evidence to suggest that interval training may be more effective than performing steady-state cardio.
Interval training is where you perform a combination of high-intensity and low-intensity exercise. For example, you can run for one minute and then jog at a much slower speed for one minute. Repeat this cycle for 20 to 30 minutes.
