Moving Localhost Site to Remote Live Server

Is there a way to edit my site on my localhost and keep all the settings for when I’m ready to move it to my remote live site? Every time I try to move it to the live server I lose all of the settings and I have to upload all the pics and turn on all the plugins and reconfigure those settings as well. Seems a bit tedious to set everything up on the localhost the way you need it to be and then have to reset it all up again once its moved to remote server. Is there a way to keep all the settings, including the plugin settings, and then move to live?

I’ve had this problem for sometime and I can’t seem to get a straight answer. Any help or input would be great!

Thanks
