That diet doesn't look so bad. I would recommend a bigger breakfast. Your body needs fuel after fasting while you sleep. Somebody like you should probably be looking to consume 2200 - 2500 calories a day. Since your not trying to build muscle or compete in sports.

I, like most people, ran into the same problem as yourself in my early 20's. I ballooned from 135lbs when I graduated to 208lbs by the time I was 21. Now my body grew and filled out but there was also plenty of fat in there as well. The big problem for me was lack of exercise. I had always been a big eater, but I was also physically active in high school so I could eat what ever I wanted and not gain any weight.

I lost weight after college by running 2 miles on a trail by my office 5 nights a week. As well as watching my portion size and staying away from fast food. I was eating out a lot, so I just made smarter choices like Subway or grilled chicken sandwiches from Wendy's with salad with very little dressing. I dropped to 180lbs over the summer.
