well, #1, without a doubt is nutrition. you can lose a lot of weight just be eating right.
In order -
1. Diet: Eat a calorie deficiet, but not too much. 20% under maintenance is a good start. Keep a food log.
2. Resistance Training: Lift heavy weights, as you want to keep as much muscle as possible.
3. HIIT if you can, otherwise cardio.
4. Persistance: Fat loss isn't linear. Some weeks you won't actually lose anything other weeks you'll surprise youself. Have a plan and stick with it. Don't get disheartened if you don't make progress initially or if you plateau. Try to evaluate what you are doing wrong.
5. Take measurements: The mirror can be decieving, don't trust it. Weigh yourself, measure your waste and get your BF% checked monthly.

mann beat me too it. rest rest rest, never forget.
#1 Desire to loose weight... to not give up.... to get back on the horse that threw you... to never give up...
#2 Eat Clean... Eat enough!... Eat Right... all the same thing... you can't loose weight if you don't start with what food goes in your body...
#3 ---- ****** WATER!!!! Stay hydrated ******-----
if you are hungry you eat... dehydration is often mistaken for hunger...
#4 PMA... Positive mental attitude
#5 Measure... measure something... keep track of what you eat... your waste size... your % body fat... #of calories... Measure If you monitor your progress it will fuel your desire to succeed
Excercise... it helps... but I would put it at #6...
For me Excercise has slowed my weight loss because I am competitive and want to perform well... you can't perform well unless you eat more... if you eat more... you loose less...

#1 have a character - determination, cutting is a psychological strain much more than a physical
#2 diet - eat right and in right amounts without obsessing about it
#3 Know why and what you're doing - dont just listen to some PT who may or may not have a clue. From person to person tho, some just want to know what to do, others also questions why.
#4 weight training - you want to keep your muscle mass to as big extent as possible and lifting weights greatly stimulates protein synthesis
#5 cardio - gives you back more energy to be able to handle everyday life
