I like SparkPeople... it's focused on changing your unhealthy habits with the goal of creating a healthy lifestyle. No going "on" and "off" diets, just healthy living.
You said you know the basics, so more than anything, you need a motivational plan and a tracking system to keep yourself accountable.

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!

try to eat lots of veggies, don't eat big meals, try more servings of smaller meals. stay away from the big carbs, (i.e. chips, potatoes) also, stay away from the sweets! and exercise....
