I'm trying to gain weight, and I'm wondering if I should be doing my morning walks on an empty stomach or if I should eat something beforehand. What's the best approach for this situation?

I'm hoping to drop 10 kgs but I'm not too keen on following a strict diet. I've heard that drinking warm water and skipping might help with weight loss. Is that really effective or could it have any negative effects on my health? I'd like to know how well these methods work.
While drinking warm water can help boost metabolism and aid digestion, and skipping rope can burn calories and improve cardiovascular health, relying solely on these two methods without a balanced diet and comprehensive lifestyle changes is unlikely to lead to significant weight loss, as a sustainable weight loss of 10 kgs typically requires a calorie deficit through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications

How can I effectively lose weight and maintain it for the long term? I've tried different diets and workouts, but my weight keeps fluctuating. What am I missing? Are there any specific routines or dietary changes that might help make my weight loss more sustainable?
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.
