Workout plan for flatter stomach. I need to loose about 4-5 pounds in 3 weeks?

I am 16 years old. I weigh 132 lbs and i am 5'3. I've been working out with my mom on and off for about a year. I used to cheerlead, so my thighs are pretty big. My stomach is the only thing i wish was littler. My upper abs are tight, but i have a little pudge. I just want to put on a pair of jeans and not have my love handles and stomach hang over a little bit. I have no idea what cardio works best. I've been going to the gym a lot and i usually do 30-45 minutes on the elliptical and i lift on other days. I play dance dance revolution alot also. I eat pretty healthy, due to acid reflux disease. I have to watch my diet. I am going to the beach in 3 weeks, and i wanted to know if anyone knew how to lose a little bit of weight, and what to do? I also dont understand the "burn more calories than you eat" thing. When i goto the gym i burn atleast 350, but my diet is around 1300 calories. Can someone please explain to me how many calories do i need to burn to achieve my goal by july 21st?

First, losing 4-5lbs in 3 weeks is tough to do healthily. And if you want to target your abs to get more of an hour glass figure, toss the cardio in the back seat for now, and use that energy instead to rip your stomach muscles. No pain no gain is true. But the "light weights, many reps" thing is a pile of crap. What you want to do is use the incline bench. Use your light weights and hold them close to your chest as you do full sit ups from a 45 degree angle. Do as many as you can. Then...go to that contraption that you can put your lower arms on pads on either side of you and it's high enough to dangle your lower body. I don't know the name of this thing, I hope you know what I mean. On this thing, raise your legs to waist level and hold it for 10 secs, rest for 10, and do 10 more. Then take a breather for 5 mins, and then lie on your stomach on a mat, and leaving as much of your torso on the mat as you can, lift yourself up with your arms straight, and arch your back and look at the ceiling. This is a good way to stretch your stomach muscles after working them. Then get up and do it all again.
Chances are the first couple times will have you unable to do it again the next day, but this is because your muscles are building themselves up at the same time they restore the oxygen to your sore muscles.
If there isn't one of those gadgets at the gym, you can get the same lift effect by lying on your back on a mat, with your hands under your butt, lift your feet six inches off the ground and hold it, a la Officer and a Gentleman style.
Three weeks of this and you'll be able to bounce a quarter off your sixpack.

As for the diet thing, lots of water is perfect, and NO CARBS. Instead, go for high protein low fat food, and as much fruits and veggies as you can eat, and NO mcdonalds!
