Too much or not enough?

This is my first post so I apologize if this is in the wrong place.
I am 5'3 , 10 stone.
I walk around 1 hour 20 minutes everyday.
I am looking to start jogging 20 minutes as well every night
I also am doing light weight lifting.
Is this enough excersize to see results? Hopefully 2 stone in around 5 months (ready for prom!)
I have a very healthy diet :)
 
Yes, it is a good start. I would recommend slowly increasing the intensity each couple weeks so you are jogging faster and further each time.
 
Please don't use exercise to lose weight. You will never be able to create big enough deficit through exercise. Your walking and jogging will burn maybe 300 calories (if you are lucky) - that's like two pieces of chocolate or a donut. Start with getting your nutrition in check. That should be the primary thing to set up your weight loss.
 
Oh, and forget about light weight lifting. Lift weights heavy enough that you can barely do 8-15 repetitions. Anything less and you are looking at losing a lot of muscle mass (if you have any) along with your fat. Trust me, it won't look that good, being skinny-fat.
