change your use of words. You don't want to loose weight, you wanna loose FAT. Fat for the most part is a pointless addition to the body. A good layer of it keeps out the cold sure, but you want more muscle (lean not arnie style) to burn off as many calories as possible.
Which is why sayin 'I want to loose weight' is a stupid comment to make. Muscle weighs more than fat, so by toning up, creating healthy lean muscle to burn off calories, you may not achieve your 'ideal weight'.
A combination of exercise (cardio and resistence) what you eat, when you eat it and in what portions is what you need to look at in order to reduce your overall size.
Also BMi is a pile of poo. It doesn't take into account body fat rations and would have say a rugby player or athelete as obese...when they just happen to have above average muscle mass.
Good luck
