Make sure you burn calories from the foods which you consume by exercising daily. You can do brisk walk for 30 minutes daily and stay active throughout the day.
Ensure that your diet includes good quality protein (from milk/curd/cheese,eggs, poultry, beans and pulses) as weight loss diets are often deficient in proteins, vitamins and minerals leading to multiple nutrient deficiencies. They may appear as symptoms like hair loss, lethargy, irritability etc.
Hope this answers your query.
