Brief Answer:
Will explain

Detailed Answer:
Hai,
Thanks for your reply.

As you are feeding exclusively you need to take protein rich food to facilitate lactation. After delivery there will be considerable weight gain because of hormonal change nearly 6 to 8 months. Once you start feeding weight will gradually reduce in a course of one year. At present diet restriction will affect you as well as baby.

As you didn't mentioned the Height I can’t calculate the BMI.
Body mass index (BMI) will help to calculate height per weight.

After one year you can start your weight reducing practice. Now it is not advisable.
Normally low calorie food and exercises like walking, swimming, yoga will be advised to reduce weight.
Because of LSCS you can’t do stretching exercise.

However,
Kindly give the details of your routine food intake with time and lifestyle practice (exercise, walking,)
So that depends on that I will calculate the calorie need for you with suitable diet plan.
Mention your height.
Thank you
Regards
Dr.S.Senthilnathan
