Brief Answer:
Gradual process, you need to be consistent

Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Reducing weight is a gradual process. An important thing is to remain consistent. Can you please share you current height & weight? It will help me in calculating your BMI.

Body requires certain amount of calories per day. Now to reduce weight our calories intake should be less than the required for that specific age. In this way body will burn the already deposited fat. To reduce weight you will be required to do following two things
1. Manage diet
2. Increase physical activity

1. Diet:
> It plays a very important role. Do not skip breakfast in any case. Take lighter lunch & dinner. While skipping a meal will reduce your calorie intake for that hour, it will leave you much hungrier later on. Irregular eating habits disrupt body's metabolism, which makes it harder to lose weight.
> Eat fresh fruits & vegetables.
> Swap whole milk for semi-skimmed, or semi-skimmed for skimmed milk.


>> You will be required to reduce fatty meal to minimum. Avoid following foods as much as possible:
- Sugar
- Drinks
- Cheese
- Junk food
- biscuits/chips
- Margarine/butter and full-fat mayonnaise.

2. Physical activity:
Its also important to burn the existing fat. There are a number of sports activities which you can opt. Best for you would be brisk walk for 30-45 mins daily. Always use the stairs instead of the lift, or get off the bus a stop before the usual one and walk the rest of the way.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
