i need to lose 3 inches off my waist.?

Going into the army. I exceed the height weight standards i i have a 26 inch waist and a 17 inch neck, this puts my BMI at 26%. 2 % over the limit. recruiter is telling me to lose 2 inches off myt waist to make it. any ideas? correction. I have a 40.5 inch waist not 26 like I mentioned earlier. Im shooting for this Dec as a goal. i think thats pretty reasonable time to lose it in.
