Never had an issue keeping weight off til about a year ago. Now it's getting tough. I don't want to be scrawny and I definitely don't want to be one of those skinny-fat dudes.

Low calorie but high protein diet, do an even split of lift days/cardio days. Eat a lot during lift days, but nothing too crazy. Then eat less during cardio days. That is the key in my opinion. This way you will build muscle during certain days of the week and then lose weight the other days. I'd also recommend doing a 24-hour fast once every two-weeks if you can pull it off. Just make sure after it is over you don't overeat.
Not going to beat around the bush - it's tricky and not for everyone. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication but it can be done.
