Calorie Deficit & Intermittent Fasting
Calorie Deficit
The main key to weight loss is staying in a calorie deficit, meaning burning more calories than you consume. Intermittent fasting is quite effective for this purpose. Instead of eating randomly, you need to develop the habit of eating at specific times.
Include protein in every meal
Protein Meal
Protein keeps you full for longer, maintains muscles and helps reduce fat. Eggs, chicken, fish, lentils, Greek yogurt etc. are good sources of protein. This reduces the risk of excess fat accumulation. However, healthy food doesn't mean something complicated. Having protein, vegetables and moderate carbohydrates on one plate is sufficient.
Walk daily
Walk Daily
Walking is simple yet effective exercise. Try to walk 8000 to 12000 steps daily or at least 45-60 minutes. However, remember that walking for work purposes won't do the job. You have to walk just for the sake of walking.
Reduce sweet drinks & snacks
Reduce Sweet Drinks & Snacks
Soft drinks or sweet foods contain excess calories, which hinder weight loss. Reducing these gives quick results. At the same time, you need to reduce consumption of fast food and chemically processed foods.
Stop eating late at night
Late Night Eating
Eating more at night increases calories. So it's better to finish your last meal between 6 PM to 8 PM. You shouldn't go to sleep immediately after eating. Move around for at least 2 hours. If you can walk after eating, that's even better. Even walking for at least 10 minutes provides significant benefits.

Adequate Sleep is Essential
Not getting 7-8 hours of sleep daily also increases hunger. Good sleep helps in weight loss. There's no need to follow a perfect and strict diet, but consistency is important. If you miss one day, it's not a problem – continuing regular efforts is what matters. That's how your weight will reduce.
