The best diet is the one that works well for you, that you can stick with, and wont leave you emotionally unsatisfied. You could look into the Warrior diet for a one meal per day feasting approach, precision nutrition for lots of eating all day and fancy stuff like nutrient timing, eat stop eat if you maybe want to fast once or twice a week and eat like normal the rest of the time. My recommendations, eat whole food, cooked primarily at home, lots of veggies, and a good protein source (meat, nuts, milk, whatever) with each sitting. Drop things like soda's, snickers bars, ice cream, sugar. I'm a big fan of hot tea, and would have the whole world drinking it if I could. And above all else, don't start over complicating it and stressing yourself out because you HAVE to eat this or that or if you have that one mini reeses cup at Halloween (I knew I shouldn't have done that).
On a side note, if you are wanting to hit 145 pounds, and you want to be lean. I would shoot for the 145 first, then lean out and see where that puts you, rinse, repeat until satisfied.
These are just my oppinions, and I have no idea what I'm talking about.
