that sounds like a lot to lose in 3 months. but stay positive and come here for encouragment. i don't have a specific diet, but here are some things to consider:

are you exercising? the best time to do cardio is in the morning on an empty stomach. (you will burn more fat) also, you need to do 45 min. of cardio 5 times a week to lose that kind of weight. you should add 2-3 resistance training (weights) sessions of about 30 minutes each week.

limit your sugar intake and eat GOOD carbs, not bad ones. for example, switch to whole wheat bread, brown rice and wheat pasta. also, add lots of fruit and veggies to your diet. processed food and fast food is NO GOOD! do not starve yourself though! you should eat 4-5 small meals a day. don't allow yourself to become starving, because then you will be so hungry you will stuff yourself with whatever is the quickest (which seems to always be the worst foods) also, watch what you drink! you would be suprised at how many calories and fat grams are in sodas and juice. try to only drink water. or try crystal light if you get bored with water. only eat red meat about 2 times a week. try to eat chicken and fish daily. try having egg whites for breakfast. good luck. if you have any more questions please let me know! oh, also it is helpful to keep a journal and log in all your workouts and what you eat that day. you will start to see a pattern that on days when you ate good and worked out you felt great physically and mentally and on days that you skipped your workout and ate bad, you feel bad. it helps to bring this to your attention if you write it down. good luck~
