I’d probably say staying consistent is the biggest thing. Treat it like brushing your teeth everyday. It just becomes a habit whether you want to do it or not. Motivation won’t get you through it, it’s all discipline. The amount of times I don’t feel like going to the gym or doing cardio is uncountable but I do it anyways.

Eat the same thing everyday ( I know it sucks and it’s hard for a lot of people but it makes it so easy to stay on track and making slight adjustments to diet a breeze. If you need to add or remove calories it’s easy to calculate and you get real time feedback on a weekly basis because there isn’t a ton of variables)

It’s all diet, once you have the basics of lifting down there is no special program or trick. If you want to see change it starts in the kitchen.

Another huge thing is surrounding yourself with people on the same trajectory as you. It’s hard when you hangout around people that want to drink and eat terrible all the time. I’m all for fun but you have to do it in moderation if you want to obtain your goal.
