Will losing weight help you run faster?

I am 5' 4.5", and i weigh 112 lbs.
I just ran my first track meet, and i ran the 800. Would losing a few pounds honestly help me run faster? I read on a running website that 1 lb.= 2 seconds per mile, which would mean 1 second per 800.
What do you think?
I would definantly do it the healthy way, because i don't want to lose strength, so it's not like i have an eating disorder or anything.
(I know thats low for my height , but trust me, i have fat around my stomach, and i'm nowhere near being underweight, even my doctor agrees..)

Hello to all the guy's... The running is much better for losing weight but not only running is mandatory.... Also there are some kind of the exercise and diet matter's in losing weight and have some kind of the burning calories and having protein shakes also.....
