The principles, as always: eat properly, train hard, rest adequately. The training part is easiest and takes the least amount of time. Get this into perspective, balance things properly, and you will be successful.
And, yeah, lose the beer.

Well said.
However, low intensity cardio for an hour a day mixed in with a little interval training once a week or two weeks works wonders and gets your metabolism going. Your body learns a lot about processing fat more effectively for fuel. Many people lose a ton of weight just walking briskly for an hour a day. But nothing beats cardio with weights, that's for sure!!
