What are you doing at the gym? You don't lose weight by burning calories at the gym, that's not the way your body actually works. You lose weight by forcing your body to increase your metabolism, which continually forces your body to burn more calories.

If you don't want to spend a fuckton of time cutting through a lot of bullshit designed to take advantage of desperate people and keep them fat and spending money, getting a personal trainer might help. You seem to have plenty of motivation so just schedule a few sessions and get them to setup a workout plan based on increasing your metabolic rate.

Also remember that if your previous diet was really shitty then doing a little better might not cut it. Starving yourself is a fool's game that isn't gonna help, you have to eat good food. 2000 calories a day of quality foods high in protein and nutrients is the best way, and combined with increasing your metabolic rate is gonna get you where you want to go.
