Brief Answer:
Height and weight indicates you are normal

Detailed Answer:
Hai,

As BMI indicates your weight is normal.

as you got a family history of obesity,kindly have a check on your weight.

as diet control along with physical exercise and yoga will keep you fit and weight under control.
However, i will give the below diet pattern to reduce weight and being healthy.

1. Do take 3 to 4 liters of water daily. so that it will wash away unwanted materials in body. keep you hydrated.

2.you should take less calorie food like steamed rice,wheat and all type of vegetables and fruits adding more millet group of food in your daily routine. all type of foodstuff should be proportionately added. now a days we don't take more fiber food. fiber food should be taken to avoid many complication like high cholesterol,gall stones,blood thickening problem etc

3)Take small quantity of food in 3 to 4 serving per day.(example: 2idly/2chappathi/100g kichidi etc) . so that excess food on serve will not be converted into fat. small quantity will equalize your energy requirement.

4.Avoid taking full carbohydrate diet like rice, wheat. add mixed grains in your daily food.

5. Totally Avoid junk foods,fried items, high calorie fatty food.(all non veg,puffed items,bakery foods etc)

6.Add more leafy vegetables like spinach,gourd,cucumber,okra,carrot,beans and fruits as much in your lunch.antioxidants in fruits and vegetables will keep you ever healthy.

7.Add nuts Like almond,peanut,channa (recent studies says intake of nuts will not increase weight .

8.Diary product can allowed with limited intake.(200ml of milk per day.
tender coconut can be taken frequently.buttermilk is allowed.

9.fruit and vegetable salad are served in the evening.(to avoid the junk foods in social gathering or in office)

10.Don t take heavy food in the night.prefer steamed food. don't go bed immediately after taking food. leave at least two hours gap.

Add millet(ragi,bajra like food)multi grain food pattern will help you in reducing weight.

Hope I given you an idea. follow it and get back to me for any clarification.
