Stop the diet drinks!! They are sodium loaded and the ingredients used to make them fizzy and 0 calories are every bit as bad as the ones they are supposed to replace. My uncle cut out Diet Pepsi-lost 25 lbs. A friend cut out Diet Coke-lost 16 lbs. And the gut will go down even more because you'll eliminate the carbonic acid that makes the fizz as well as cutting the carbs that make bacterial gas(which can cause bloating).
As mentioned earlier-when increasing the calories, it's important to note what you're increasing them with. Everyone has a sensitivity to certain foods that pack on lbs quicker. Me, it's ice cream-the same amount of calories in another food won't put on weight. A friend, it's beef and another, carbs. If you're increasing with carbs, stop the carbs, etc.
Keep working out. Walk more to keep the metabolism from slowing down. Measure your water intake by using a pitcher or bottles-you will probably find that you don't drink as much as you think. You should be finishing at least a 72 oz pitcher a day and peeing every 2-4 hours of clear or almost clear urine. If you can go less or the urine's yellow, increase the water. (an excellent indicator of fluid intake)
Keep it up!! 60 lbs is a great loss! Don't let setbacks get you down or into bad habits.
