Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone through your query and your attached reports (3 uploaded attachments).
Yes, I do agree with your physician. Random blood sugar 85 mg/ dl and HbA1c 5.6 % are considered within the normal ranges (5.7% is the upper normal range of HbA1c).
If you are overweight you should continue to keep monitoring fasting, postprandial and HbA1c once a year.
About the fluctuations of the HbA1c, there is no need to worry as there is a tendency to get lowered not increased through the years.
What I can notice is a tendency for high cholesterol level (physical activity and a healthy diet recommended). It will help in maintaining normal blood sugar, lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL level.
Hope to have been helpful, feel free to ask further.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back!
Congrats for your weight loss!
To give a diet plan for 1 week or 1 month here is difficult because there are no enough characters.
What i would suggest is a diet plan with about 2400 calories based in mediterranean diet.
There are many free apps that ofer a Mediterranean diet with everyday recipes, you can download on of them (mediterranean diet app).
Hope it will be helpful.
