Brief Answer:
Diet plan and exercise

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes you are overweight by 7 kg. You should try to reduce 3 kg per month with diet modification and exercise.

A target time of 40 min of walk plus job per day would help you achieve this goal. I also suggest you to use 'Ask A Dietitian' service for a diet plan.
