Rather than losing weigh, i would turn the flab into muscle. To do that just find a plan that works for you.
Hope this helped!

you are quite underweight so if anything just get toned (muscle weighs more than fat so you'll look alot thinner even if you gain) but the minimum number of calories you should eat is 1200 on a diet you should eat 1200-1500

It is impossible to get all essential vitamins and mineral nutrition from anything less than 1800+ calories. You should shoot for 1800-2100 calories a day, cardio exercise will help burn calories
