Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.

Consuming safflower oil regularly isn’t a guarantee you’ll lose weight. But safflower oil can provide you with some health benefits during your weight-loss journey and may affect your body fat. Reducing your overall calorie intake and eating safflower oil in recommended portions give you a good shot at successful weight loss. Do regular exercise along with that like walking as you have blood pressure which will help you in loosing your weight.

Hope this answers your query.

Regards,
Dr.Alekhya
