I'm no expert by any means, but as bobbycore said, burn more calories than you consume a day. That's the key. How do you know how much you're burning/consuming? You gotta count! Count how many calories do you get per day (be exact) and then substract 500 calories and build an eating program around that. Divide it into 5 or 6 meals a day to speed up your metabolism. Get rid of Fats and high processed foods and boost your protein intake. Junk food is a no no, of course. (but who wants to eat that crap anyways, right?). And then cardio. 3-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes. Depending on your goals, really. As bobbycore said, keep strenght training. Muscle burns fat! Simple enough. Doing that consistently will lead to a healthy weight and fat loss that you'll be able to keep off for good.

Lots of questions from a newbie

I'm a skinny guy and struggle with fat on the same area. I think 0 sugars and refined carbs are a must and lots o' cardio as well. You seem to have a very healthy diet, though. -

How 'bout spinning? I know, not all gyms offer spinning classes. Mine does. And I love it, love it, love it. I'd do it 5 days a week if I could. It's very intense and I enjoy it a lot. -
I read that sticking with 1 gram of protein per pound of weight is a good idea. That's what I've been doing. At the first I thought it was too much... But then I got used to it. I get 6 meals (3 meals, 2 shakes and 1 protein bar). Which adds up to 160 grams of protein. What's funny is that the caloric intake is not much more (sometimes is even less!) than the usual kinda-low-on-protein-higher-in-carbs diet I used to have.
