    If you run enough you don't even have to diet. but its best to cut back the fats and junk food and to run for an hour at least 3 times per week. You won't have to worry about weight.

    Losing weight has to do with caloric deficit... Diet is key.

    If you keep eating the same amount of calories that you are used to maintain 130 and start running you will lose some weight but progress won't be very fast... Unless you run serious amount every day.

    3500 cals deficit is about losing pound, that's about running 35 miles for somebody your weight.

    You have to do other workouts also because running and dieting is not enough for losing weight. So, try other workouts also.
