Brief Answer:
Ideal weight should be calculated according to your height.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Ideal weight should be calculated according to your height. That is ideal weight = height in cm minus 100 plus or minus 5. If it more than this it should be gradually decreased.
For decreasing 10 kgs won't be that difficult for a normal person by changing diet. Conditions like hypothyroidism should be ruled out if you have difficulty in weight loosing by diet. You can go for a thyroid profile test for this.
Following measures in diet will help you to loose weight.
1. Avoid soft drinks , drinks with added sugar etc. You can take coffee or tea with less sugar or without. Coffee and tea helps to decrease appetite for more food intake.
2.Avoid fast foods , foods containing margarine or hydrogenated vegetable fats like vanaspati which is main content of bakery sweets , cakes and breads.
3. Cakes , chips and other junks should be avoided.
4.Take whole grain foods like whole wheat bread , brown rice , rye bread, oats etc.
5. Take more plain water daily.
6. Include more vegetable salads and whole fruits in diet.
7. You can take boiled eggs at breakfast.
8. Go for lean chicken like chicken breast , small fishes like sardines instead of big fishes and also lean meats.
9. Avoid late dinner. Take your dinner early like before 7 pm and it should be in low calories , high in fibres and light.
Get at least 1 hour exercise daily like jogging or walking in 8km per hour speed.
These all measures will be enough to get a 10 kg weight loss gradually.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
