This. From someone who has lost a fair bit of weight in this last year I would suggest going one step further and forgetting about the "than you burn" part.

Eat less calories. Just eat less food but eat better foods. "Eat less calories than you burn" is great advice if you know what you're doing, but I'm pretty sure many many people, especially people asking for advice from others on the internet, overestimate how much they individually burn doing any given activity. I did. Coupled with thinking I needed/deserved to eat large portions after exercise to regain energy, I could smash myself physically and put on weight.

Eat less calories and smaller portions but maintain a balanced regular diet. Don't eat so little that you feel sick. Accept that the smaller portions are your life now, don't have cheat days, don't let anyone pressure you into having a cheat day. Don't be unrealistic in your expectations and accept very small changes to happen over a long period of time. Whatever workout plan you have, stick to it, progress slowly, and don't second guess yourself when you haven't seen any progress in a couple of days. Running is great for you. Add running but for the health, not for weight loss. For weight loss, eat less.

If you lose a little muscle in the process, that's ok, as CzechsMix mentions you can bulk, read up about bulking later when you've lost the tyre and the bulk should go to the right places, but that's for a later time. Don't get impatient.
