Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

Obesity can occur due to the following:

Lack of exercise.
Consumption of high-calorie foods, such as oily, spicy, non-vegetarian foods, and fast foods.
Taking hormone pills.

Obesity can cause hypertension, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, and hormonal disturbances. To reduce weight, I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions:

Reduce calorie intake through a proper diet.
Burn calories through regular exercise.
Practice yoga and pranayama regularly, and go for walks.
Eat more salads and fruits.
Avoid drinking water during meals.
Drink water one hour after meals.

These steps will help.

I hope this has helped you.
