Then you're probably eating too much, or too many things that have lots of calories in them.
One method that can help is to keep a food journal where you list everything that you eat for a couple of days. That, together with some research and some simple maths can tell you how many calories you are actually eating each day. This knowledge will help you figure out what changes you need to make.
Some general advice below:
Avoid everything obviously fatty and sugary. Sodas, deep-fried stuff is a no-no.
Avoid alcohol.
Use the plate proportions method - half your plate should be vegetables, 1/4 protein(=meat) and 1/4 carbs(pasta, rice, potatoes)
Try to keep physically active - get a bit sweaty and winded - for one hour each day.
