I am 5'4" 145 pounds and a 55 year old grandmother. I have no idea what my measurements are. I haven't taken them in decades! I know as one gets older one's butt tends to disappear and flatten out. My point is, as we have kids and age, our bodies change. That does not mean you can't change some of it, but be realisitc with your "ideal."
There is one basic principle for weight loss-burn more calories than you eat. Exercise burns calories and shapes the muscles, so that is a good thing.
Here are some basic tips for reducing calories.
Read food labels.
Look for foods that are low in fat, low in calories, high in fiber.
Avoid most processed foods.
PIck low fat or non-fat alternatives.
Stay away from ALL fast food. One normal fast food meal has all the fat and calories you need for an ENTIRE DAY. This goes for fried chicken and fish, pizza, hamburgers, etc.
Plan your meals the day before so you have healthy choices.
Eat more fruit and vegetables, at least 5 servings a day, more is better.
Avoid all things with white flour and white sugar in them.
Soups that have lots of veggetables in broth are good. Creamed soups are not.
No chips, unless they are baked. Pay attention to the serving amounts on the package.
Go easy on rice,.pasta and bread. 1/2 cup (measure it) is a serving for rice and pasta!!!
Good luck! I have found that Weight Watchers works for me.

The best, most effective way to lose weight and keep it off is to simply eat right and exercise.
Cut junk foods and sodas and dessert out of your diet (save them for the occasional treat)...eat fruits and veggies and lean meats...drink lots of water...
...and try to exercise an hour a day, 5 days a week (work up to it if you have to...break it into several small workouts if that's what it takes)...
Good luck!

Hey,
I understand your plight.
First of all, with your husband, I would believe him when he says he likes you the way you are.
Second of all, I would continue to lose weight and work out to acheive a maximum level of health so i knew I could be around for my grandkids.
For tips on how to keep the weight off in a healthy way, see this article that I found:

Good diet, minimize saturated fat, use monounsaturated fat. Always check in gradients of everything you are buying.
Relaxation, stress and strain never allow people to be slim.
Exercise, for 30 minutes fast walking or jogging.
Do not use any medication. I do not think any one is scientific.
All the best. And ya, do not forget to eat 5 fruits per day and green leafy vegetables! :)
