Drinking 500+ calories a day is almost 1.5lbs a week, cutting that alone would contribute a lot to weight loss. Try drinking a gallon of water a day instead.
But it wouldn't be unusual for me to have three cans of soda a day if I'm not paying attention. Two during the work day and one with dinner, so that's still 500 Calories.
In the last year I've figure out one of the causes for this. I'm, apparently, very sensitive to the flavor of water.
I picked up a home reverse osmosis filter and my water consumption has gone back through the roof and soda consumption down to 1 every few days just because I like the flavor.
