trying to lose some weight

lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks just jogging and eating right/not drinking alcohol, but its starting to drive me nuts. I need to lose 7 more pounds to be at the perfect weight for my height.

what can i do to speed up the process?

I have an exercise bike in my apartment, would that help much? ive heard the bike doesn't do much. Is jogging the best wway to lose it?

also will doing sit ups hurt the process?

im basically just trying to get rid of a little beer gut

What's the fine line between trying to bulk up but also running to be on the treadmill consistently? Not that they necessarily HURT one another, but don't they contradict one another if you run too much?
