It is important to do some weightlifting with light weights.  Jumping rope is very slimming.  Exercises that work the thigh muscles are helpful, the most important being squats.  Decrease starchy foods and fried foods and aim for a mild decrease in overall callories, but eat a high volume of vegetables cooked in healthy ways (not fried) to keep yourself full.  Also eat lean protein and when hungry, consider having a few nuts and a piece of fruit.

If belly fat is all you have, you may have a medical condition that can cause belly fat.  Insulin resistance is one, high cortisol levels is another.  You might want to get checked out.

Walking is good for helping to remove belly fat, as is yoga. There is no way to "spot reduce", but exercise and healthy diet containing plenty of fiber will help you lose weight overall, and belly fat is usually first to go.
