Yes, it's very doable, you just gotta get your nutrition in check. Weight training plus cardio combined with a proper diet will give you results as long as you're consistent. Someone mentioned a create your own cereal site in a recent thread, I would definitely check that out. It allows you to harness effective nutrients aggressively.
Reduced calorie intake and regular exercise, and of course, a little dedication.
Whenever you can, walk up and down the stairs, walk to the grocery store, walk in the parks, the dog, etc., increased physical activity will force the body to use all stored reserves.
can this be achieved with strict diet and light (or practically very low) work out routines ?
People claim to have lost weight just with diet. But it's a long, patient and slow process. If you are a food lover, you will hate your life when you go through it.
2lbs a week is pretty simple to think about. You need a 500 calorie deficit per day to do it. How you do it is up to you. Eat less, exercise more, both at the same time, it's up to you.
To find out what that deficit should be from can be more complex if you want it to. You can either take the FDA guidelines (2000/2200 calories/day) or find you basal metabolic rate + your activity level or you could get even more scientific about it and go to a lab.

Your math is wrong. You'd need a 1000 cal per day deficit to lose 2 lbs of fat per week.
Anyway, to the OP: it depends what your starting obesity level is. If you're very overweight then it's easy. The leaner you are, the harder it is. If you're under 11%, it's not so easy
Of course it can be done, but it TOTALLY depends on your starting point. I just took off 9 pound in 8 days, but again, the most important factor on if you can do it is where your starting point is.
What do you currently weigh?
I did it by doing two-a-days - working out in the morning, then in the evening after work. Also, put myself on A 100% SUPER CLEAN HEALTHY NUTRITION PLAN. This was NOT a diet, but a nutrition plan to properly fuel my body for the workouts. Sure, had some buddies over for kung fu discussion and poker on night 6 and had a couple of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat beers, but other than that hiccup in "nutrition" I stayed true to my plan and did it in HEALTHILY and EFFECTIVELY.
So again, YES it can be done safe and effectively but it really depends on:
1. Your starting point (weight, fitness level, etc.)
2. Your dedication and commitment to proper nutrition.
3. Your dedication and commitment to real exercise (not walking around or "working in the garden" sh*t)
