I lost 30+ pounds without changing my amount of exercise very much. I used a website called SparkPeople which helps you figure out how much fat, calories, protein, and other nutrients you should be getting daily for a healthy lifestyle... It helped me a LOT!
SparkPeople's website takes into account your current weight, whether you are trying to lose weight (and in what time period) or to maintain your current weight, and your amount of exercise to figure out the fat/calories/protein/fiber/carbs/other nutrients ranges you should be eating each day. Then you can track your food intake using their site so you can make sure you stay within the recommended ranges each day. They also offer meal plans which use whole grains, fruits/veggies and other healthy foods and you can either follow their daily meal plans or just input your own foods. The emphasis is on a healthy lifestyle and eating healthy rather than a short-term "diet".
