You've had a lot of advice from a lot of people here and all I can add is this:
Different schemes work for different people. My boss has just cut out extra snacking, no added exercise or stict diet. She's lost an average of a pound a week this way. You WERE a very active person which probably means that you'd have to be fairly active in addition to eating sensibly to lose weight. I know in the webmaster business it is difficult to get much exercise. My hubby used to lift weights and get general exercise and now he's been webmastering for a while he doesn't get the exercise and has put on weight.
Myself, I would ideally like to take a Yoga class and then swim/sauna for an hour afterward 3-4 times a week. Be good way to start the day. Unfortunately at the moment I'm still stuck in a 9 to 5 and webmastering in my free time. This leaves little time for exercise.
Lastly, I must say that I really liked the way doing a weight program strengthened me and helped me lose weight BUT found it incredibly boring.
I'm sure you know most of what has been said having been athletic in the past. Basically eat less than you burn off in a day and eventually you'll lose weight. It'll take you ages, but it will go.
