I started by counting my calories and giving myself 2,100 a day...500 or slightly more for breakfast, 200 for mid-morning snack, 500 for lunch, 200 for mid-afternoon snack, and 500 or slightly less for dinner, and 200 for snack (or less).
I don't monitor carbs, but I do try to keep my fat intake low (but I've found that for the foods I eat, calories and fat kind of go hand-in-hand.)
Also, I work my butt off. I will exercise vigorously at least an hour a day, usually on the stationary bike in my man cave but I'm also riding a road bike. Then, the better I've felt, the more active I've been with my kids, leading to street hockey games, ice skating, more walks with my wife, and longer bike rides when I have time.
On a Saturday, I'll usually go out and do about 30-40 miles with 1,500-2,000 feet of elevation.
I'll attach a before and after if I can figure out how to do it.
