Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I appreciate your realisation that you are over weight and your desire to correct your XXXXXXX issues.
Your heart rate is high due to overweight, insufficient physical activity and possibly increased stress.
You should lose weight by reducing your food and eating wholesome, should exercise at least 30 minutes a day and practice stress relieving measures like yoga, meditation or relaxation techniques.
Medicines are to be considered only if these healthy ways are not adequate.
