Using the elliptical to lose weight...?

Question

I've started using the elliptical about 3 or 4 times a week to slim and tone my legs. That is my problem area and that's really the only place that I want to lose weight. I know that I can't just lose weight there but that's the area that I'm targeting. I've built up to 30 minutes at a time in about a month and then go on to do about 20 minutes on a stationary bike and a few leg presses. I plan on working up to the full hour workout. My heart rate usually runs about 140-150 and I I don't really sweat that much or get out of breath. My legs do burn while working out though. I'm an 18 year old female, wt 135 lbs and 5'2". Would I be able to lose about 15 lbs doing this routine plus slightly cutting back on my caloric intake?
