Dear Crys
Yes, aerobic exercises such as the ones you list also help to reduce weight. You may find that you initially gain a bit of weight because muscle tissue weighs more than fat tissue, but if you take all your vital measurements before you start exercising and then take them again every week, you will see that you are losing cm and thus reducing your body fat %.
