i'm great at giving advice but not taking it. so take this with a grain of salt.
drink lots of water, no soft drinks; bad for the bones.

cut down on salt and processed food.
don't deny yourself everything. if you need a sweet have it in moderation.
eat frequent smaller meals. watch your portion control.

eat more chicken and fish and cut down on meat.
cook your own meals. eat more veggies/fruit.

keep a food diary. helps keep you accountable.

now if i just could take my own advice. good luck. sounds like you're on the
right track.
