Is my diet healthy to lose weight?
I’m 5′2 115 pounds trying to lose about 5-10 pounds.
I usually eat a big breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup organic raisin bran cereal with soymilk, a banana and apple
For lunch I usually have a nice big veggie salad sometimes with salmon or tuna. I do snack on nuts, whole wheat bread with peanut butter/almond butter.
Dinner i eat fruits.
I’m a vegetarian. Is my diet ok or do I need to change it to lose the weight?
On the surface, yes. A good breakfast is awesome to jump start your day, and eating healthy snacks is great practice to speed up your metabolism.
However, it depends on quantity and type of foods such as the nuts you are eating. I am not a fan of calorie counting, but you should try to control your total calories. Depending on the type of nut for example, eating a handful of nuts daily may help prevent weight gain and possibly promote Weight Loss. About 50g of certain nuts contains 4g of fat which is pretty good, if that is all you are eating and based on the type of nut you are eating. Other nuts e.g. cashews can be high in calorie & fat content. Check out this chart: http://www.novafeel.com/calories/calorie-chart-vegetables.htm
Also, I would only suggest about 4 pieces of fruit per day. Any food including fruit- if not in moderation can cause weight gain due to the sugars (even though better than processed sugars and fruit juice).

I will also incorporate a period of increased activity such as fast walking in your daily lifestyle.
