    i exercise 30 to 40 mins a day doing elliptical or yoga

    Add some strength training to your routine. Muscle burns more calories than fat burns.

    As for your diet - just like many people have already said... Make sure you're diet is filled with good quality, nutrient-rich foods - fruits, veges, whole grains. Fast-food and the other highly processed stuff you're eating is gives you a lot of calories and sodium, but very little nutrition.
    My go-to snacks are usually fresh veggies like sugar snap peas and carrots, greek yogurt with berries or a single 113 g serving of 1% cottage cheese and an apple.

    I love sugar snap peas! I eat a lot of baby carrots and Greek yogurt too (be mindful of the extra calories from different flavors and the add-ins). Celery and natural peanut butter - cut up the bag of celery in advance. Apple and a serving of almonds. Make sure not to overdo it on the Peanut butter and nuts though - a little goes a long way! They're a great source of protein, but the fat and calories can easily tip you over your calorie goal if you're not careful. A cheese stick is another easy snack and great source of protein. I also have no-sugar added applesauce on occasion.

    Best of luck!

    You need more fresh fruits and veggies. 5-8 servings per day.

    You're also eating a lot of crap... McDs, Chinese take out, pizza, sugary coffee drinks... get rid of the processed foods.

    I have to agree with the processed/refined food. I spend Sundays making my meals ahead for the week, so I have homemade meals ready to eat when I get home from work.
