One pound of fat is 3500 calories, so in order to lose 16 pounds in one month, you would need to burn 56000 calories in addition to the calories you would need to burn off to cancel the calorie count of your daily food intake. Therefore, if you were on a 2000 calorie a day diet you would need to burn off 116000 calories in a 30 day month: (2000 x 30) + 56000 = 116000
That said, it is not considered healthy to lose more than 2 pounds per week. Losing more can really mess up your metabolism and make it much easier to gain back the lost weight once you stop the diet.
In order to burn the calories, aim for a balance of cardiovascular activity such as walking, running or swimming plus muscle building exercises. Muscle burns more calories, even at rest, so toning your muscles will help to burn fat faster.

How do you lose 25 pounds in five weeks?

Is it impossible to lose 30 pounds in 1 month?
There are many factors to take into consideration. Men tend to lose faster than women. If the individual weighs a great deal, say over 300 pounds, 30 pounds in a month is not impossible. Excess water weight can get that much out of someone that size. But if the person is within their healthy weight range, it is going to be almost impossible to lose that much even if they work at it for many months. But losing a pound a day is not a reasonable expectation for someone that is moderately overweight. Typically someone that starts a good diet program, such as Weight Watcher, will lose 4 to 5 pounds the first week, much attributed to the water weight. From that point on, a couple pounds a week is considered reasonable and healthy.
