To reduce weight, focus on sustainable lifestyle changes: eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein, drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily, incorporate physical activity like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least 150 minutes weekly, get 7-8 hours of sleep nightly, and manage stress through meditation or yoga, aiming for a gradual weight loss of 0.5-1 kg per week.
