If you're out-of-shape, you could lose the first inch off your measurements by losing fat reserves (aerobics) and gaining muscle mass (anaerobics) without losing weight so you'd be thinner, toner and look better. For the same mass, muscle mass is 3 times heavier than fat reserves (or you could say muscle mass takes 3 times less space than fat reserves for the same weight which is why you get thinner without even losing weight). Last time I did that, it took me 3 months, doing 27,000 calories of exercising (an average of 300/day) and losing 2% of body fat percentage.
Now, for the next inch off your measurements, once you're in shape, you would need to lose 10 pounds of fat reserves, which is 35,000 calories of exercising.
Last time I did that, and the only time (I'll never do that again), it took me 10 weeks, at a rate of one pound of fat reserves loss a week. I'm not as tall as you and my threshold is 130lbs so I lost 10 pounds of fat reserves in 10 weeks with a super healthy low calorie diet, just high enough to cover my BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) and doing a lot of low intensity fat burning aerobics and some weight training. This was VERY hard and time consuming because I could not eat more to get energy for the exercising and I'm not the kind of person who can use fat reserves right away. Plus you cannot use fat reserves for weight training, since it's anaerobic.
In retrospect, losing 10 pounds of fat reserves in 10 weeks was a mistakeI should have lost half a pound of fat reserves per week and lose 10 pounds in 20 weeks so it would not be such a bad memory because I had to do 2 hours of exercising a day (to burn 3,500 calories a week), for 5 days a week (with 2 rest days) and this was very hard because I did not eat for it. This is why you cannot lose more than one pound of fat reserves a week because above 2 hours of exercising, you would really need to eat more to keep going (and you cannot eat more than your BMR).
Soif you want to go back to a 26 inch waist, and do it the healthy way and not the "VERY hard" way, you would need 3 months + 20 weeks = 33 weeks.
Notes:
Losing one pound of fat reserves does not mean losing one pound of weight because it does not take into account muscle mass gain (which is very good) and water and waste fluctuations, which can be huge and are very confusing and irrelevant since only temporary because eventually, your body settles down.
