The problem in her are hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism.
First, for cholesterol, she should be started on Tab Rosuvastatin ( Rosulip) 10 mg bedtime.
For hypothyroidism, She should have tab eltroxin 12.5 microgram, before breakfast once a day. If she is taking some antacid like pantoprazole then there should gap of atleast 30 min.

Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according her capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat.
