Eating a calorie deficit is 90% of the battle.
Keeping your protein high will help you retain more muscle mass as you lose. It also useful to have a strategy in your back pocket for avoiding/getting over plateaus.
I don't know what you weigh now, but getting to 200 lbs shouldn't be that difficult. To maintain, use the tools you learned to get there, don't go back to doing whatever you were doing that got you fat.
