First of all, don't avoid fat. Your body needs fat to process nutrients, and if your diet is very low in fat, it actually causes your body to store body-fat even more. Eating dietary fat does not make you gain body fat. Go for traditional fats like butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and naturally occurring fat in dairy and meat. Try paleo/primal eating.

What kind of exercising are you doing? Only do cardio about once every 7-10 days. Most of your exercising should be things like either walking/hiking/swimming or lifting weights.

 

A couple books I recommend:

The Primal Blueprint - https://www.amazon.com/The-Primal-Blueprint-Reprogram-effortless/dp/0982207786/

Everyday Paleo - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/098256581X/

My fiancee is a trainer and I've learned a lot from him in the past year. I never needed help because I've always been athletic and I always worked out at least 5 days a week. We've been discussing my routine after the baby and once I'm cleared to go all out, I will. (After baby, I will have about one year to get back to my size 6 for our wedding!) Now that you're 6 months pp, you can do anything. If you're a beginner or even a semi-beginner, I would suggest at least 3 days of cardio. You can find a ton of beginner treadmill workouts that start off walking/jogging and will get you running in about 10-12 weeks! You also need to lift some weights. Lifting weights actually burns more calories than cardio. You can also find tons of workouts all over the internet, or if you are on Pinterest too! Even in Cosmo magazine there is always a page of workouts great for women. If you go to a gym and need help with weights, get a trainer for an hour. If you aren't a member of a gym, most gyms offer 2 free training sessions when you join (that's how I met my fiancee!) and they will teach you how to do it correctly. Not to mention they will always be around if you have questions. GL!!

I didn't lose a pound of weight (after the first week of course) for 6 weeks PP until I started adding weights. I do 2 days of cardio every week, walk every day if I can find time, and try to do 20 minutes of weights 5 days a week.  Now I'm losing about 1.5 lbs a week! Not to mention cleaning up what I ate and cutting out sugar...not fun but after the first couple days or so, it became habit to avoid it. Very happy with the results.
