1 hour of low intensity aerobics (fast walking, slow jogging, biking, or mix it up) at least 3 to 4 times a week.  Make sure you don't overdo it.  You should NOT feel fatigued after you are done; just pleasantly tired and even refreshed.  You shouldn't get your heart rate above 70 to 75% of maximum.  The easy way to figure out max heart rate is subtract your age from 220.  If you can't talk while you run or walk you are going too hard.

Also check your carbs out.  Eat more complex carbs.

Also do some light weight training a couple times a week.  Muscle mass burns calories. I would check out a Curves for Women or something like that.  It combines strength and aerobics.

Please understand that as a previous post that sometimes you will actually gain some weight early on because of muscle growth.  That's why you should look more at your measurements the first month or so.
