Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
I appreciate your concern at this age.
As per the data given in your question your BMI is 32.31 kg/m2.
the normal BMI is upto 25 Kg/m2.
So you are not only overweight but slight obese as well.
In order to lose weight you have to change your life styles like increase your daily physical activities, avoid fast and junk foods and sweetened carbonated soft drinks, chocolates, sweets etc. Eat healthy diet like fresh fruits vegetables, cereals, fish white meat like chicken etc. Drink lot of safe water.
I hope you will reduce your body weight soon>
