Brief Answer:
You are only slightly overweight
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your BMI is 27 and you are only slightly overweight.
Your tummy maybe protruding for another reason like digestion issues etc.
Better take cleaner water to avoid gastrointestinal infections.
Add some exercise. Maybe you can start with yoga at home. You can learn it in a yoga course and then do it by yourself. Padmasadhna is good to reduce body fat and takes only a few minutes. You can do it before breakfast and dinner.
Getting motions with oil is a side effect of the medicine. It can be safely taken over prolonged periods despite this harmless side effect. But You do not require weight loss medicines. Tummy doesnt seem to be due to high weight. It seems to be stemming from sedentary lifestyle and another (unknown) factor that we need to find.
Ancho lean is one ayurvedic medicine that can help lose weight. Aloe vera juice can also help. But again you do not require it. These natural or alternative medicines can also have side effects. Digestive problems is their most common side effect.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dear Doctor, I am suffering from Osteoarthritis and knee pain I am unable to do the exercises particularly yoga. Kindly suggest any other alternative which reduce tummy. Kindly suggest any allopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic, unani, siddha, naturopathy, herbs and homemade medicines which can reduce my tummy
Brief Answer:
Aloe vera juice
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Among others, aloe vera juice is safer and quick results in few days. You can withdraw after that and maintain the weight with other measures. Triphala can also be taken. Acho-lean is also available for weight loss.
In allopathy, orlistat is safest. Oil is excreted because it does not get absorbed into body. Other medicine is Victoza (liraglutide), phentermine (not available in India), Topiramate. These can have side effects, therefore should be taken under guidance of a doctor.
Hope it helps.
