For me, I was too concerned with "losing weight" and not concerned enough with being healthy. So what worked best for me was to throw out my scale (I am dead serious about this). Then I found a buddy, signed up for a reasonably priced gym (we claimed to live together to get a discount for both our memberships) and started trying whatever looked interesting. I personally like the YMCA, because it is oriented as a "family" gym, so it had a hundred different types of bodies in there, so it wasn't intimidating.

I got to take lots of different classes and figure out what was *fun*, plus it was amazing to, for example, take an aerobics class with women who had twenty years and fifty (or more!) pounds on me who could run circles around my sorry ass. For me, the most amazing thing I did for my body was readjusting my mindset about women and weight and fitness. And one day I realized my clothes didn't really fit well any more, and I looked in the mirror and flexed and just loved my body, as much for the strength and success and potential I could feel in it as for its new shape and size.

Find what works for you, OP. Find something you enjoy, or people you enjoy exercising with, and focus on being fun and strong or flexible or just the way your body feels when it moves (or all of those!). Obviously exercising and eating healthily are important, but teaching yourself to feel good doing it matters the most for maintaining it, imo. And if you can't do the gym, there are lots of great videos that you can try out via Netflix or, erm, other sources, so you can find what you like that actually makes you want to work out.

You don't have to throw out the scale like I did, but if it helps you focus more on health and fun than on weight, I'd suggest that too. :)
