Ways to lose body fat?

Would just eating less in general be helpful?

Ex: I just got home from work/ school/ whatever and I'm a bit hungry, but not starving.
Would putting off the meal and going for a jog around the block be wise?

Never, ever put off eating. Your body will start going after fat reserves for energy, but you sound like you're already at a decent weight, meaning muscle is next. Eat sensibly. Don't starve yourself. Don't go overboard more than one meal a week or so. The big reason for eating breakfast is not so much to "kick start your metabolism" as it is to prevent you from gorging at lunch. Eating is not the enemy.

If you intend to exercise and are already hungry, I'd have a snack and proceed to exercise. I try to time major meals after exercising. I pretty much always cramp up if I go biking right after a meal. But that's me. Timing can go both ways. You need food to fuel a workout, but if you haven't digested decently, you can cramp up and have other discomfort. Eating within an hour of a workout can help with recovery. So it'll come down to a bit of personal preference and your schedule.

I'd google and check multiple sources for more advice or actually talk to some qualified in person. I'm not a very legitimate resource.

Edit: Took me a while to make my response. FrozNlite has hit the nail on the head. Fitness has a lot of contradictory and constantly changing information, but keeping consistency and Fiel's pseudocode in mind are the two big things everyone can agree on.

It might also be worth noting my old roommate did pick up an eating disorder or two in the process of his weight loss and his current muscle-building efforts. He's painfully obsessed with what he eats. He's disturbingly healthy. It is okay to treat yourself now and then. (Or a bit too often in my case)
