Hi,
You need to add protein to your diet.
Best is to have eggs daily but if you are vegetarian then you should take protein powder with milk daily. Also add regular walking to your daily routine to build up your muscles.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
