Everyone is different but I will use my own personal experiences so maybe it will help you. I am 6'1 and have had issues maintaining weight my entire life. The first time I broke 200 lbs was when I was 11 years old. My highest weight ever was 678 lbs and I now weigh 240ish (about 15% body fat).
The problem is your eating patterns. I absolutely guarantee it.
1. Decrease portions but increase frequency of eating.
2. Supplement your body with protein after exercise (not that bulking protein either, get a good cutting one)
3. cardio, cardio, cardio (actually measure your heartbeat and push to achieve at least 65% of maximum heart rate and keep it there)
4. Water, water, more water .... did I mention water
stay away from soda (even diet .... that crap is poison)
5. BE CONSISTENT !!!! This is actually the most important part.
That is pretty much it. Weight loss takes ages to lose and requires next to nothing to gain it. You absolutely must change your entire lifestyle and I promise it will come off.
I could post my diet regimen but you probably wouldn't do it. No one really does ... I just know my body and how it responds to things. For what it's worth my current calorie intake is about 1400/day and that is with the exercise. This helps create a multi-thousand deficit per week. And since we know 1 pound is the equivelant to 3500 calories then we know we need a minimum of a 500 calorie deficit per day to lose just ONE pound per week.
