Where do I begin?

you are consuming more calories than you are burning.

1. Do everything the same on day 1, except track it in an app and see how many calories you are eating and drinking like normal. This will let you know what you've been doing.
2. Use an online calculator that will estimate your maintenance calories for your age and weight. This will let you know what you can do to stay the same.
3. Start tracking your meals and consume a few hundred calories less than the calculator tells you is your maintenance calories. This will show you what to do to lose weight.

Start there.
