Dear Himani Agrawal, Thank you for the question
Starting the journey towards achieving ideal body weight is a good initiative on leading a healthy lifestyle! Kudos to you on your initiative.
Sustainable weight management requires a holistic approach which involves lifestyle management which includes Dietary modification, Physical activity, hydration, and stress management. With any weight loss plan changes take time to reflect as your body requires sufficient time to adapt to the changes in order to show results.
An ideal weight loss meal plan should include calorie deficit diet with appropriate exercise regime followed under professional guidance.
However here are few objectives to be considered when planning to start with a weight loss program.

Above 27.5 - Obese
Please note that it is recommended for the target weight to be within normal BMI

Some Physical Activity Tips:
Engage in at least 30-45 minutes of physical activity of moderate intensity such as walking for at least five days a week.

Swimming, Walking, cycling, jogging, skipping are some of the physical activities that can be considered.
