You haven't tried everything. You don't mention any exercise because THAT is what you need, in addition to healthy food. Just cut back on your portions and get out and walk every day for an hour. You can take the baby and go to the mall. Push her in the stroller and just walk, walk, walk.

My guess is that you still have too many carbs in your diet. Try eating lean meat and lots of vegetables. You can eat large salads by simply eating lettuce while dipping your fork in the dressing rather than dumping on loads of the calorie laden stuff.
As for exercise, you need to build muscle. Get thee to a gym! Use the machines while progressing from machine to machine at a fairly brisk rate. This means little resting in between. This will build muscle and also be very aerobic. You should be breathing harder and your pulse will go up by the end.
Also, drink green tea or coffee rather than softdrinks, even the diet ones. Your energy will improve in time, and your hunger will lessen.
Also eat frequent small meals rather than a few large ones. After 6pm try to make any snack mostly protein. Try cheese slices or maybe turkey slices or chicken breast.

You have to include more fiber and protein in your diet. Due to its spongy nature, fibrous foods will fill you up with fewer calories consumed and give numerous cardiovascular health benefits. Adequate protein is required to maintain healthy muscles.
Overall, reduce the carb-rich foods in your diet and add these 2 food sources and you will see a difference in energy and weight loss.
Excellent and easy fiber sources: beans (all types), flax bread
Excellent and easy protein sources: eggs, milk, cottage cheese, beans, meat, poultry, fish
If you really want to lose weight, go as sparingly as you can with processed foods, pastry (all kinds), white bread, and pasta. These foods provide waaaaay more than the carb grams we need in a day- which metabolizes into fat. I know thats tough in the modern diet, but a good trick is to sub half the portions of these foods with the ones I mentioned above- so you are half full by the time you hit the carbs. Its the best of all worlds.

If your diet is hoealthy and correctly balanced, you need to do cardio, lots of it, spinning, running or elliptical... running is the best, but avoid it if you are overweight... go see a nutritionist and tell him you are goin go be working out, he'll give you the correct diet. In no time, you will burn fat. If you exercise in the fat burning range, you burn fat and no muscle, if you do it higher you start consuming muscle. Also... you need a weightlifting program (strength routine) and higher levels of protein in your diet, this will help keeping muscle and building more.

If you don't want to lose muscle, make sure you lift weights as part of your exercise routine.
You will also burn more calories lifting weights.
Good Luck!
