Well push-ups and sit-ups are a great start as far as working out, do as many as you can, take a 1-2 minute break then aim for one less than you did the time before or perhaps even the same. Do about 10 sets, then the next day, try and do one more per set and add an extra set on as well, example; 10 sets starting at 10 repitions one day, 11 sets starting at 11 repetitions the next etc.
Get 2 4L (1 gallon) milk jugs (empty of course) and fill them up with water, be sure to tape the cap on. Use these to workout your delts (shoulder muscles) by raising them up to your sides, as if "flapping" your "wings", then do "hitlers" which, you guessed it, is raising them up like the infamous Nazi salute.
Do squats to workout your legs, start from a standing position and bend your knees, making sure to hold your arms out in fromt of you for balance, once again, do sets of these similar to push-ups and sit-ups.
As for cardio, nothing gets your blood flowing and your heart pumping like stairs, it may seem boring but you have to do what you have to do, throw in some headphones and go at it for a solid half hour, stairs are also a great workout for your legs. Obviously you will need breaks but keep them short, 1-2 minutes to catch your breath and get a drink then back at it.
As far as supplements to help you burn fat, that's something you would be better off asking the guys at a specialty store geared towards that kind of stuff, the only ones I have any knowledge about are hydroxycut and ephedrine, ephedrine being illegal in most parts of the USA.
Don't take this the wrong way but were you always this weight? Or is it a more recent thing?
