I can relate a bit. I was 90kgs while working, now at 70kgs.

Sustained calorific deficit is the only way. Diet and exercise.

(1) Walking. Do a lot of walking. Walk while talking, while working if possible. It burns calories left and right.

(2) Calculate your maintenance calorie requirement and use HealthifyMe to stay 10% below daily required calories.

(3) Have 1 cheat day a week where you eat maintenance level (or even 10% above). Prevents your metabolism from getting used to lower calories and keeps your calorie burn rate high.

(4) There’s no such thing as burning fat away from certain areas. Just focus on losing weight and you'll be good.

(5) Introduce more protein in your diet (soyabeans, beans, rajma, etc.) to prevent muscle loss while in calorific deficit. You want to lose excess fat not muscle so lifting some weights daily for 10 mins goes a long way.

Soyabeans, daal, beans, rajma etc are not protein source

Consult a dietician along with a fitness trainer to help you get your diet plan along with some daily exercise which you can fit in your schedule.

Apart from that try to follow these things:

  1. Ensure you are hydrated properly (min 3-4 litres per day)
  2. No sugar or deep fried food (if you can't avoid it completely then reduce the quantity)
  3. Eat more veggies/fruits
  4. Avoid eating palm-oil packaged foods (replace with chana, peanuts, khakhra, etc)
  5. Try to have an early dinner (before 8 PM if possible)
  6. Try to sleep early (Max by 12 AM if possible)
  7. Move more (take one 5 min walking/standing break in an hour of sitting in the office)

All the best!

2 ltr water is enough

I double checked this and it seems according to weight one can calculate their water intake needs.

However it's normal water intake.

It doesn't consider the amount of extra water needed for the below:

  1. Exercise
  2. Caffeinated drinks
  3. Medicines (pills/tablets)

Strength training at least 4-5 days every week. Eat 1-1.5g protein per kg of body weight (paneer is the best protein, if you can eat eggs eat them, and add whey if you can). I dropped 25kgs in 1.3 years, you can too.

Go calorie deficit. That is the easiest way. Cut down on carbs and ensure you get whatever protein supplement to help you out. Ensure you walk 10k steps everyday

Then there are very few options. You will have to consume whey protein.
