My goal is to safely lose 45 LBS and keep it off. What can I do since running is out of the question and I can't drive to the gym?

Proper diet is the big one. Proper sleep helps as well. Try not to drink anything that isn't water. Too many beverages have a lot of additives and those are a lot of calories that adds up over time. If running is out of the question, how about walking? Even a little extra movement can go a long way. Then there's body weight exercises. You want to lose weight, well one way is to use your weight against you. Build up those muscles to help burn unwanted fat.
Just remember... you don't need a gym membership to work out. Everyday objects can get you where you want to be. 1 gallon of milk weighs 8 1/2 pounds. When you're done lifting 1 gallon, move on to 2 and that's 17 pounds. Think outside the box and get creative. Good luck.

I was going to make a post about this. I lost 30 lbs (over the holidays no less). All I did was switch up when I ate, no crazy food, no new exercise, just changed the time that I ate. I have always eaten a smaller breakfast, a snack at lunch and then a heavy dinner. Every other day, I would switch it up, and have a heavy breakfast, snack at lunch and a light dinner. The next day, I would go back to smaller breakfast, snack and bigger dinner. FOr some reason, I lost weight, and have kept it off, without adding exercise. I am guessing it is the same principle as muscle confusion...

What time at night did you stop eating and only drinking water? Stopped sodas and drinking green tea with honey and ginseng throughout the day. Trying to stop the sweets too and junk food, but salad is dull if everyday. Can't remember how I did it for Basic training and I want to do it safely cause I lost so much-DS thought I was going Anorexic and a SGT at my first Duty Station told me to lose 20 and I was 115 and another told me gain 15 and then another called me at 120 a FAT PIG...almost went into a starvation diet til I was caught by Mess SGT not eating for 2 days (I ate, but just enough to keep from passing out).
You guessed it-scared of going extreme to lose it.

I usually eat dinner at 1800-1900. I also had a bag of popcorn at night watching TV. Still drink sodas, and water. The only thing I changed was when I ate a big meal. Cycling seemed to help. It was the only change I made.

Replace all soda or soft drinks / beer with water. Reduce your portion sizes, stop eating before you feel full, take a multi-vitamin each day, start replacing high calorie foods with low calorie but keep the nutrition. Good example is breakfest cereal........most are loaded with sugar and calories. Replace with two packets of 110 Calorie Quaker Instant Oatmeal. Very filling and nutricious and cuts your Breakfest calories probably by 250 or more. Skip the Orange Juice unless it is freshly squeezed and only has natural sugar and replace with an Orange that you have to peel. Lunch, 1 Tuna Salad Sandwich with a side salad of sliced fruits and vegetables. Dinner, will leave to your imagination but keep watching your caloric intake without sacrificing on the Nutrition. The Multi-Vitamin will help balance things out.
