my bike feels quiet heavy and being heavy myself making my bike lighter would help alot.. will removing my front brake and ditching my gears for single speed save me much weight?

Lighter parts.. lighter wheels, lighter tires.. ect.. your not going to gain a hell of a lot be dropping a brake.. you'll lose a bit with the derailer.. but its negligible

.and ride more, lighter you

Light tires affect the handling in the air more than any other change. Spinning weight affects handling....

A 4.5 pound suspension fork versus a 6.5 pound sus fork is also very noticeable change, but a more expensive one....
