You are lacking strength, hence you are not explosive. Plyos help you display your strength quicker basically by training your ability to absorb force and to counter-act. However, general limit strength still remains the foundation. Bodyweight training is restricted in its ability to develop limit strength.

As for the weight loss ideas, they aren't really true. If you want to lose flab, proper strength training and diet will take care of that.
