Consult your Doctor and a Dietician and take plenty of excercise - ignore the many faddy diets that are about .

Stay active. Don't neglect weight-bearing exercises and shift more to protein in your diet.
You'll actually gain weight at first as you put on muscle mass, but muscles burn more energy, so you'll have a higher metabolism.

I lost 25 pounds on a year binge of heroin. Got clean and slowly gaining it back. Wasn't worth it.

What are you losing weight for?

In the past year or so I've gained like 40 pounds. Not really sure how. But I really want to be back at my starting weight.

Well, my advice to you is this:
1. Ignore everything else people tell you because most people don't know shit about nutrition. Their advice will be less than helpful. Even most articles you read online will be total garbage. Don't pay any attention to it, as even if it is correct, it will probably overcomplicate things.
2. This is the important part, but it's also very simple. Always have a daily caloric deficit. Keep track of all of the calories you eat. If you don't know how many calories you burn per day, there are calculators online that you can find. Aim for a 500-800 calorie deficit per day. If you do this, then no matter what you eat or when you eat it you will get roughly the same results.
3. You're probably going to have issues when you start feeling hungry after eating all of your allotted calories for the day. To help deal with this, you should make sure that you're eating foods that aren't dense and are slow digesting. Veggies are usually low calorie compared to their volume and whole grain or whole wheat foods digest more slowly than foods made with enriched wheat flour. Healthy fats and protein are very filling, too and should be a regular part of your diet. Think peanut butter, nuts, eggs, meats, etc. Also, you can get rid of a lot of unnecessary calories by drinking water instead of other drinks.
4. Another massively important part of managing hunger is your meal timing. If you spread out your calories through the day, your body will learn to be hungry throughout the day. Instead, you could have one or two big meals towards the end of the day. This would help your body learn not to be so hungry during the day, and when you go to bed you'll feel full.
1 pound is roughly 3500 calories, so you should be losing about 1 to 1.5 pounds per week if you maintain your deficit.

Good resource: calorieking.com. You'll inevitably be eating foods where you won't be able to find exactly how many calories they contain. You can find most foods on there, and over time you'll probably learn how to estimate how many are in whatever you eat.
