Maintaining your body weight
It is never easy to maintain the perfect body shape and weight, and usually it will require extra exercise and a harsh workout routine that will take its toll on your body. However, if you devise a calorie budget and if you stick to it, it will be possible to maintain your achieved set weight just by watching out what you eat and how it will affect your body. You should never trust exact calorie values though, as there are many parts of your food your body will dissolve differently, and you should account for that.

Counting every single calorie
To be able to accurately tell how many calories you will need daily, you will have to take into account many factors and you should not believe generalizations on how much energy you need daily. Everyone is different, and depending on what you work with, you will have different needs; you should visit a professional to help you calculate your daily calorie intake so that you can see how much you will need to maintain your weight without having to go into extra exercises or visiting the gym couple times a week.
Resize your portions
In most cases we do not pay attention to calories because we trust that the portions we eat are well planned out and will not have more calories than they should, however, it is always better to think about redistributing your portions into smaller ones so that you can trick yourself into eating less, and effectively getting used to a lower calorie intake. However, make sure that you do not go overboard and that you do not starve yourself, because you will only create health-related issues which could lead to more serious illnesses.
Hidden calories
Although it might seem that you are not introducing any calories into your body when you are drinking something, you should be careful with it, because there are a lot of hidden calories; even in your favorite drinks, and they can contain a lot of sugar too.

It is better to brew some skinny tea and drink it throughout the day so that you can really watch your calorie budget. In general though, it is vital that you keep drinking plenty of water, as it can help you speed up your metabolism and it will help your body get rid of toxins as well.
A bit of cheating is always allowed
Being careful with your calorie budget is necessary to keep your achieved weight, but you can always sneak in a few foods which actually burn more calories than they contain, and they are great because they will make you feel full without getting hungry quickly afterwards.
However, do not forget to combine foods which have greater nutritional values, so that you do not suffer from malnutrition; and remember to find a balance between staying healthy and going overboard. You should not force yourself to do anything that might hurt your body, which is why you should consult a professional.
Revising your calorie budget
From time to time you should look into, and upgrade your calorie budget, because your body will inevitably change, and you need to take into account the new factors; as well as the fact that you will work sometimes more and sometimes less.
It all boils down to being careful how much you eat, and how much energy you use up daily, and if you manage to keep the balance between the two, then you will be able to maintain your ideal body weight without having to devise a demanding workout routine.
