Dear Abinaya, 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.

Some Physical Activity Tips:
Regular physical activity or exercise is necessary and beneficial for overall health as it helps in improving muscular and cardiorespiratory fitness, maintain ideal body weight, prevent, and manage lifestyle disorders as well as improve digestive health. Walking, cycling, jogging, skipping are some of the physical activities that can be considered. Engage in at least 30-45 minutes of physical activity of moderate intensity such as walking for at least five days a week.
Elliptical cycling can be an effective option in your workout routine; however, it is advisable to have a comprehensive routine including a variety of exercises alongside your elliptical cycling for maintaining ideal body weight. However, for specific exercise regimen to cater to specific fitness needs please contact a fitness expert.
