Hi Balaji,
The key to lose weight is by eating right and staying physically active. This balance is the only key to stay healthy forever.
Now your friends must be blessed with very good metabolism because of which they are able to eat a lot and yet not get fat.
You may also achieve good metabolism by staying physically active, this will help burn the extra calories which are stored as fat, provided you eat carefully and only healthy. Else your body will be busy burning the extra calories that you consume now and will not be able to burn the one's which are stored overtime.
Wishing you good health.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Inherited individual differences are important.
Whatever it is, they are amenable to active interference....

Weight is like bank account. The amount in your account comes down when you withdraw more (physical work) and you deposit less (eat less). If the weight is picking up, it only means – the exercise is not enough or the food is more.

See a good dietician - you have to reduce the quantity of your food and change the quality too.

You need regular exercise... join a Gym - there are exercises for the tummy too...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
