Your query remained unanswered for many days so I am taking the chance to help you for the same.
You need to avoid salt and sugar not only to avoid weight gain but also to save yourself from hypertension and diabetes mellitus.
For weight loss, you need to avoid fatty and high protein diet and increase the uptake of vegetables, fruits and salads. More water intake and Citrucel dietary fiber supplement is necessary for you.
Proper physical activity on regular basis is needed to maintain a healthy weight. Your BMI should not exceed 24.99 and not to drop below 18.
If you feel difficulty in choosing food and diet charts, you may need to consult a Dietitian who will manage a diet plan for you according to your taste and food choices.
