Brief Answer:
Diet and exercise.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome and thank you for providing the information.
When we calculate your BMI it is 25.3 (Overweight = 25–29.9).

The most effective weight loss diet is the one that help you lose body Fat, and not just weight, as weight loss can occur even when you lose body’s water or protein. Therefore, it is important that you maintain a good and healthy food intake and at the same time work on burning the excessive fat that has accumulated.

The key to healthy weight loss is a combination of both, diet and exercise in your daily routine. Regular cardio exercises are found to be more effective in quick weight loss while Yoga improves the flexibility and organ function. The core strength training ( with weights) will improve metabolism and help you burn fat faster, even when you are not working out. This happens with increase in muscle mass with regular exercises.

The saturated fats like ghee, vabaspati, cream and butter do not qualify to be a part of your weight loss plan. Vegetable oils are much safer when taken in controlled quantities. Limit the oil intake and completely avoid taking the deep or shallow fried foods.
Fibers are not digested in our gut, they remain to be there for longer time and do not make us feel hungry. The fiber rich foods like beans, green leafy vegetables, whole grains and cereals, fruits and vegetables are found to be helpful in losing weight.
Stay Hydrated. drink plenty of water, especially warm water. Divide your meals into smaller but frequent portions. Choose the low fat dairy products.

Kindly follow this advice for month, you should see some improvements. If you do not have further queries, kindly close the question.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
