Mayo Clinic says reassess your habits. Increase your workouts.

Try counting your calories for a day or two (best a week) and see what your average is. And then calculate what your caloric intake should be for your desired weight. At first when losing weight cutting back on what you eat helps allot..but from past experience you'll need to cut back again before you get to your goal weight.
Atkins might work too, but I think in the long run, try to find a way to either increase your workouts a bit or decrease your calories...or both.
Keep at it!
