Calorie tracking, some calorie restriction (within reasonable limits given lactation), reducing fat ratio from 30% to 25%, and gym (weight lifting and cardio) 3 times a week.
My end goal (unrelated to weight) is to get back into those pants, or else to discover that the folklore that says your hips end up wider after you give birth is actually true (it kind of sounds like baloney made up to make moms feel better about being fat, to me, but we'll see).
The ligaments do stretch during pregnancy, though they don't always stay that way, it can take upward of a year for the hips to settle back into permanent position. Results vary widely, no pun intended.
Not sure what governs the recovery process, diet and exercise probably factor into it, as they seem to in everything else.
