Ive recently gone from 255 to about 225 over the last few months without much work at all. I just made a meal plan that I could stick to each day that had enough calories to make me loose the amount of weight I needed, enough protein (I set it at 220g/day which seems to be fine for me), and plenty of nutrients. Everything was set amounts, but nothing that I had to calculate before I ate it. For instance I will have two steaks instead of 400g of steak etc. I hate measuring stuff and I don't think +/- 50 calories here and these will make any difference at all.
At your weight and activity level you are going to notice some big changes with just changing a few things. Cut out that cheat day, maybe drop the all you can eat wings, limit your almond/cashews to just one handful (they add up fast), and don't have a few PB+Js before bed.
Make a plan that you can stick too is the most important thing. 2 months of an easy diet is always going to be better then 2 weeks of something brutal.

yeah but this way I at least have a plan, I need to shave down from the 5000 kcals or so Im ingesting atm but still keeping the protein intake relatively high
