Welcome! Congrats on starting your journey to a healthier you!
Night time snacking...ughhhh! I try to combat it by drinking a glass of water and see if I still really want something. I also will get a sugar free popsicle (15 cals) and eat that slowly. It usually helps.

Welcome!
Perhaps it's too simple, but how about simply eating your evening meal later at night? I try not to eat supper before 5:30 or 6:00 and sometimes much later. If you're full, you'll be much less tempted to snack.
Otherwise, I'd plan into your calorie intake a modest evening snack and add a glass or two of water to it.
Regards,
Michael

Eating at night has always been a problem for me, too.
I try not to eat dinner too early.
I keep sugar free Jello and sugar free pudding on hand and have that with a dab of whipped topping (because my weekness is sweets).
I brush my teeth. I won't eat anything after I brush my teeth.
I have also just changed my mindset about evening munching. That has not been easy but having the Jello or pudding to look forward to really helps.
