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.

And I don't drink, don't drink coffee or tea, no white bread and I don't eat until I'm completely full. And yet not a single part of what you said sounds "easy".
