Just start to write down every single calorie (and perhaps the macros) you consume during the day. This way it is pretty easy to see if you are on the right track. Most people re-gain weight after a diet because they fall back into their old habits. For this reason I don't like the idea of "making a diet". It kind of implies that you suffer for 8 weeks to lose some weight and then you can start eating unhealthy again because your diet is over. Forget your idea of "diet" and do a permanent change in your eating habits. If you do it slow you will not suffer that much and the effect will be permanent.
