Hello,welcome to HCM. I read your query and understand your concern. There is not a magic pill to make you lose weight. I would advice,
1. Increase daily activities , walking, steady bike etc
2. Dont consume processed carbohydrates and complex fats.
3. increase water intake
4. Drink green tea and not any other sugar drinks
Take care. Hope it was helpful, if yes vote helpful. Regards.
