Walking

There are so many studies done that show that just walking is the best way to lose weight. When I was working on just losing the majority of my fat weight, I just walked on the treadmill - at a good pace, around 4 mph - for 45 - 60 minutes several times a week.

still do weight training

its inevitable to lose some muscle during cardio. so still weight train to keep your muscles where they're at. maybe try kickboxing or an aerobics class. I did an aqua aerobics class 2x/week and in three weeks I noticed a HUGE difference in my physique. By the way, I'm 5'2", and just have gotten down to 144. I definitely understand where you're coming from.

good luck!!!

Just make sure that you do a good warm-up before you start any cardio - i.e. don't immediately start sprinting; start out slowly for a few minutes - and do a good cool-down at the end, followed by a stretching session. Your muscles may become more toned, but the warm up, cool down, and stretch will prevent them from becoming bulky (or more bulky) than before. Any cardio - elliptical, treadmill, bike, stair climber, walking, playing sports, taking classes, etc., will work. If you decide to lift too, just make sure that it's light weights with many reps - that'll build lean muscles instead of bulky.
