Avoid processed foods and prefer whole wheats. Restrict sugar intake and fried foods to a minimum. Use an app or counter to measure your daily calorie intake and try to maintain a calorie deficit for each day. Find a sport which you enjoy, such as badminton or yoga, and engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. Consult a dietician to work out a sustainable diet plan.
