No, I've lost 40 lbs just by cutting out fat. I'd like to eat a little more.

No, you can cut back on fatty foods to lose weight.
According to common sense.

Sometimes keeping a food diary can help. Sometimes we don't remember how much we have snacked on during the day. The food diary can help you see if you are snacking excessively or help you see a bad habit.
If snacking is your problem you can look into a couple of options. You can cut down on your snacking or plan for healthier snacks. Don't drastically change your diet unless you know that you can stick with it. Otherwise you just gain all of the weight back because you go back to old habits. Just change a little at a time. Try having two "healthy meals" a week. Something as simple as having grilled food, instead of something fried.
Also, to lose weight you really need to do some type of exercise. Find something that you enjoy doing. You will be more likely to stick with it. Maybe walking, swimming, yoga, dance, aerobics. Just whatever you find interesting. If you bore easily you may want to try doing more than one thing. For instance, walking with friends on Monday and Wednesday, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday. The next week try dance on Mon. and wed. and aerobics or Tues. and Thurs.. You just have to find what works for you. The most important thing is to keep it fun and interesting. Take time and try some new things!
I hope these suggestions were helpful. Good luck and just keep the faith in yourself. You can do it. You just have to decide that you are ready to.

2000 calories per day is good, but stay as close to no fat grams as you can because when you go on a diet your body thinks you are starving it and it will hold every ounce of fat given to try to store. Good Luck :-)
Exercises and drink plenty of water also!

fat alone has nothing to do with it. it depends on how much exercise you'll be doing verses how much you're eating. Exercise and diet go hand in hand. You can't just cut back on fat to lose weight.

It has more to do with calories, fiber and fat...don't just depend on low fat to lose weight.

Depends what else you eat and how much exercise you do. There's no simple answer to this question.

it really depends on what kind of fat we are talking about - olive oil for instance doesn't really harm - but animal fats are fattening

when tidying up put things away in multiple small trips rather than one big haul
