If you're not connected to wifi - you'll use cellular data... are you streaming TV/movies? Audio a lot??

Agree with above comment. Also are you on Facebook a lot? Because if so videos are set to play automatically which will eat into your data. I went and turned it off so videos won't play automatically.

Go to the settings. Press cellular. You will see a list of apps that have used cellular data in your current cycle

This. You can also disable mobile data access for specific apps. Be sure to reset the counter from time to time, preferably in alignment with your data plan (tip: set up a reminder).
