Hello! Thank you for writing.
If I had you height too I can give more personalised advices.
Although I'm trying to help you with generalised advices. As we age after the age of 20 the basal metabolic rate BMR follows 2% each year. BMR are the calories you need ti burn just when you are resting: for breathing, blood circulation, etc. So try to restrict diet and exercise as much as you can. At least 4 times a week. You can choose swimming, jogging, going to the gym, dancing. Whatever you want. Cut off processed and fast food. Eat more proteins and drink plenty if water. Thank you. Best regards.
