It depends on how you lost it. If you did it through calorie restriction, there's a very good chance you'll gain it back when you begin eating the correct amount of calories your body needs. That's just what happens when your body goes into a caloric deficit, it's a survival mechanism to help you retain fat in order to survive famine and unfortunately, the body doesn't know the difference between a famine and a diet. To avoid gaining it back, you're going to have to make life-long changes. You can't go back to how you were eating before because that's what made you gain weight in the first place. How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Greger is an amazing book that teaches you all about the latest in nutritional science and simply reports what the science tells us is the healthiest diet for human beings. I've been eating according to his recommendations (whole foods, low fat, and plant based) and have lost 20 pounds while eating over 2,000 calories per day.
Lily from LegitNutritionHawaii (UaMauHawaii) does a really great job explaining why our weight's keep fluctuating when we diet. I hope this helps.
I found that the easiest way to maintain my weight loss is to keep my diet healthy and get regular exercise in reasonable measuers.
Meaning I don't eat just one meal a day, or only greens or things like that. I eat 3 meals a day plus a vegetable smoothie, but just make sure to keep the portions smaller (~3/4 of what I'd previously eat) to make sure that I rarely feel like I'm walking around hungry.
For exercise, I don't go hardcore at the gym 5-6x/week, eventually leading me to completely burn out and have to take a few days to recover. I go 4x/week but keep my workouts tiring, though leaving me still able to function right after.
Keep the weight off by having a diet/workout routine that's manageable, nothing overly extreme that is completely unrealistic to maintain in the longrun.
The formula is simple: move more, eat less. Do you have an exercise partner? If not, I suggest finding one that'll push you both. It's a lot harder to skip the gym if you're committed to a partner to be there for her. Also, work on finding foods that keep the weight off that you like as substitutes for the ones that put weight on. Also, buy some really nice skinny clothes that it'll hurt not wear if they don't fit. Lots of self affirmation like messages on the mirror help, too.
If you only try to starve yourself your weight loss will not be consistent. Your body doesn't know when its next meal is so it's becomes unhappy about losing weight and tries to retain it.
Go do cardio, eat right and don't starve yourself. When you exercise your body will naturally use its fat stores. Endurance activities > 30 min are the best.

Well it's important to keep hydrated and keep your metabolism up, it's hard when you don't have time to always be eating essentially (healthy things of course) thats why meal preparation is CRUCIAL.
burn more calories than you eat. simple as that. a balanced, healthy diet and doing regularly sports will help you to achieve that.
don't starve yourself to lose weight... because it will only have a temporary effect.
Stay active and eat like you do right now. DO NOT fall back into your old eating habits, that's the biggest mistake people make. It won't just stay off you because you got rid of it in the first place. You have to make an effort to not gain it again.
Just keep what you are doing with respect to the food... try not to yo yo. In addition regular exercise will help maintain your weight or potentially reduce it more.
