Hi,
Your over weight might be due to hypothyroid and you will start losing weight after thyroid becomes normal.
You are not so over weight so do not keep tension.
Go for regular light exercise for 30-40 minutes daily.
Avoid fat and carbohydrate.
Avoid taking more tea, coffee, cold drinks etc.
Continue with your routine diet you mentioned.
Ok and take care.
