Any tips on getting back there? It's a lot more difficult now that I work a 3rd shift job and I've been eating 5-6 smaller meals a day instead of 3 meals a day.

The graveyard shift is a major contributor to the weight
gain. I worked night shift for five years and was never heavier in my life. Your catabolic steroid cycle is all
messed up. It takes a year to get back to some semblence of normal physically.
You already know the only natural remedy that works.
Exercise. But it cannot be exercise. It must be your lifestyle. My job requires being on my feet, lots of walking. Leaving night shift I lost a ton of weight. But I could still stand to lose more because I'm just not active
enough. Also remember that once you have the fat cells they never leave, even if the fat does. That is why most folks gain about ten pounds per decade. If you doubt it, spend a summer working as a white water rafting guide. Don't worry about what you eat and watch the weight pour off your body. In contemporary society
we don't know what active is. If your lifestyle is active you will be your high school weight all your life. If it isn't, your basal metabolic rate decreases along with your muscle mass and voila - the jeans no longer fit.
Do you doubt it? Meet Cougar Dave, a real Idaho mountain man.
Dave was in his eighties when this photo was taken in the early twentieth century. Was it good genetics? Possibly. So then look at this article about overcoming
the fat gene with lifestyle.

Sell your car. Buy a bike. Sell your lawnmower buy a push mower. Quite your job. Leave the city. Buy a farm.
Yada yada yada. It is the lifestyle that is killing you.
That is the bitter truth.
p.s.
Look at recent research on the relationship of high fructose corn syrup to the epidemic of obesity and diabetes in
America. That stuff is in e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It is bad news stuff.
