I've lost over 100lbs, gained some of it back

So like the title says, I've put some weight back on. I started off at around 375lbs, got down to about 265, and now I'm back up to 291. I'm 6'6" so if those numbers seem a bit strange, that's why. So what changed? I used to run daily and limit my caloric intake, it took a toll on my body. I partially tore my hamstring and wasn't able to run anymore, at that point I began to focus more on weight training. Finding a balance point between the two has been extremely difficult. I'm just about healed up to where I can run for long distances again, but I don't want to lose what strength I've gained in the weight room. I'm sitting right around 20% body fat according to my digital reader, and I would like to get down to the single digits. Anyone out there think they can help me out? Diet tips, workouts, etc. anything at all would be greatly appreciated.

carry on with the weight training. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn in a day, so keep at it. You don't have to do cardio to lose weight. You can make your weight training sessions high intensity to get your heart rate up. Even cardio once a week would be fine, and carry on the weight training0
