Going from pretty obese to less obese and the calorie changes

Can anyone relate to this? I used to weigh 270 lb, my maintenance was so high and a calorie deficit was SO easy. I barely had to cut anything out. All I did was eat less. I still measured but there was so much wiggle room, and it was so much easier to do. Eating 2300 calories and being in a deficit was incredible. I started my weight loss journey officially three years ago, I have gone up and down 10 pounds but the 70 pound weight loss holds.

Now I weigh around 195 pounds and my maintenance is about 2000 calories. I am finding being in a deficit to be much much harder now. I feel like I have to be much more precise, and “fitting in” foods is difficult. My motivation is shot. I struggle with depression and still did when I was 75 pounds heavier, but I still could have a slight binge and be fine. I struggle to maintain the 1600-calorie deficit especially when depression kicks in. I’ve been eating at maintenance for the past like 6 months because I’m so lazy.

I’m going to get back on the horse and finish it once and for all. I’m just so exhausted being in weight loss mode for a few years and I’m still not done, and I have to eat less and less as it goes on. I need to just bite the bullet and get it over with. Does anyone have any tips for me? I am so tired
