Hello Mr. Prakash,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
See, though i dont know your height but 114 kilogram is too much of body weight. You need to lose atleast 20-25 kilograms to get to a moderate weight. Do the following-

Eat small frequent diets
Avoid fatty or fast food and take more vegetables and dietary fiber
Take drugs like orlistat or phentermine after seeing a doctor and after being prescribed by him/her
Start exercising, even half an hour brisk walking per day should help
Get your lipid profile and blood sugar checked


Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
I find this answer helpful
