Aside from that, I do a short strength workout almost every day, and at least half an hour of cardio each day.

Basically, common sense. Eating three medium-sized meals and two (healthy) snacks a day, avoiding all junk food, and getting enough exercise.

The hard part was finding out how to change my eating habits, rather than just reducing caloric intake. Once I incorporated a better eating pattern into my entire lifestyle, it became extremely simple.
