You can easily eat more calories in a day than you can burn. Unless you are a super athlete who works out eight or more hours a day , you are not going to burn anywhere near what you can eat.

You need to cut calories in.
Bulk up on the (essentially) calorie free non starchy vegetables.
Watch protein (excess protein gets converted to sugar and ammonia which then has to be converted to urea and excreted by liver and kidneys) , watch simple carbs (flour, sugar, bread…).
Switch from refined grains to whole grains and watch the portion size. Best to pair the whole grains with legumes and watch combined portion.
Drink water, not soda, not juice, not milk, not beer… just water; especially with meals.

Watch what you put on those salads, Best option is to find a low calorie low or fat free dressing. My favorite for store bought is low calorie (15 cal per tablespoon) fat free Italian thickened with acacia fiber. Mustard based dressings , salsa (check ingredients and calories though) and tatziki (cucumber yogurt dressing) are other good choices.

Add another vegetable to your plate , a non starchy one… A serving of meat (watch the size) a serving of wholegrains and legumes (watch the size) and two servings of veg (Meat plus three) ; but start with a big serving of salad.

Watch what you snack on. Have steamed vegetables and raw vegetables and salad mix ready for snacks. As much as possible, choose low to no calorie options for snacks.
