Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the details.
Considering your weight of 80kg and height 5' 8", your BMI is 26.7 which comes in the overweight range and you need to lose around 5 to 10 kgs to come into normal BMI range(which is 18.5 - 24.9).
It's actually a very simple process to follow in theory.. but certainly difficult in practice.
A good well balanced low calorie diet is your first step. One that cuts out the unnecessary snacking and eating out (restaurant food is designed to be tasty, not healthy). Our Dietitians here can help you with that. Just ask them to make you a weight loss diet chart and they will help you.
The second thing is exercise. A combination of Cardio exercise and focused muscle building is important, but you should concentrate in Cardio. Join a good gym or seek the help of a physical therapist and you will have the help you need to make an exercise plan that you can stick to.
The key is to make a schedule that you can STICK to in the long run.
Hope this helps.
