This is a terrible list of suggestions. Get a calorie counting app. I use Waistline which is open source. Actually use it: enter everything. Find out the calorie values. And then re-assess what you're eating after you have some actual data to work with. There are plenty of metabolic rate calculators online: you don't need to be super accurate, you need to be consistent and follow the data (i.e. if you're still gaining weight then you're either not entering things into the app or you now know your BMR is lower than expected so you adjust accordingly).
