In order to see a reduction in your love handles or anywhere else, you need to lower bodyfat. Lowering bodyfat means putting yourself into a caloric defecit to achieve fat loss.
The best way to go this is to first find out your maintenance calories (there are a number of free maintenance calculators online to find this out), then you would need to put yourself into a defecit from that number. You can do that by eating less or increasing activity or ideally doing both.
Try eating 500 Cal's under maintenance each day with a diet consisting of high protein, low to moderate carbs, and low to moderate fats. Protein should come from good sources like lean meats, eggs, fish, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt. Eat lots of green veggies and try to stay away from breads, pastas and sugars as carb sources. Choose good complex carbs like sweet potatoes, brown rice, and oatmeal. So please carbs should mostly come from clean sources like fruit. Take in plenty of good fats with high omega 3 & 6 content
Good luck
