I already eat healthy, if i add exercise will i be able to achieve these results?

I'm an 18 year old girl, 5"7 and 150lbs. I used to be 160lbs about half a year ago but i changed my eating habits and managed to lose some weight. Now i eat very healthily (lots of veggies, fruit, protein-rich foods and dairy plus i take omega3's and multivitamins. I don't eat junk food or salty/sugary stuff or drink soda, never really did in the past either.)

I've never really kept up an exercise routine; I always start running but then after a few times i lose my motivation and can go months without really doing any proper exercise. I'm not in particularly bad shape, but I do want to get rid of that flabby extra stuff around my hips So my question is: What can i expect if i start doing 30 min (about 5k) rowing machine (or 5k running) and different weight exercises at the gym about 3-4 times a week? Considering i already have a good diet how long will it take me to lose the weight? My goal is about 139lbs even though the number doesn't matter that much to me, the main thing is that i "tone up" and lose that extra fat!

thanks a bunch

maybe you don't stick with it because you aim too high to begin with. just go for a walk (vigorous for 45 minutes or so). it won't take you long to lose weight. start out slower so you don't lose motivation and stop. as little as 30 minutes of exercise each day can make a big difference. and anything is better than nothing.
