For Weight Loss (5–6 kg target)

Diet: Eat more protein (dal, eggs, fish, paneer, lean chicken, sprouts). Avoid sugary drinks, fried/junk foods, excess bakery items. Replace white rice with brown rice/millets/oats occasionally.

More fruits, vegetables, nuts & seeds. Exercise: 30–40 min brisk walk/jog OR dance/cycling 5 days/week. Add light strength training (push-ups, squats, planks) → helps tone body + burn fat. Hydration: 2–3 L water/day.

Your tanning and acne are mostly due to sun exposure + hormonal/skin type changes, while the weight gain is from recent lifestyle changes. With proper sunscreen use, a simple skincare routine, balanced diet, and regular exercise, you can control acne, lighten dark areas, and lose 5–6 kg within a few months.

If you need any treatment for tanning let me know.

The reason for skin tanning and acne is due to Sun exposure Sweat and pollution Hormonal disbalance and stress

For tan Sun protection: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily, even indoors. Reapply every 3 hrs outdoors.

Gentle cleansing: Use a mild face wash (salicylic acid if acne-prone, otherwise gel-based).

Night care: Apply a light niacinamide serum (5%) for pigmentation + oil control.

Weekly exfoliation: Once a week, use a gentle exfoliant (AHA/BHA toner) to remove dead skin.

Natural care: Apply aloe vera gel or cucumber juice for soothing.

For acne Cleanse face twice daily (not more than that). Tab Azithromycin 500 mg for 5 days

Use benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5%) on active pimples at night.

Avoid picking/squeezing pimples.

Keep hair clean and away from face.

Drink enough water + add fruits, veggies, omega-3 foods (flaxseed, walnuts).

For weight loss Eat high protein + fiber meals (dal, sprouts, eggs, paneer, chicken, fish, veggies).

Cut down sugar, fried foods, packaged snacks, soft drinks.

Prefer roti over rice, or switch to brown rice/millets.

Early dinner (before 8 pm).

Drink 2–3 liters water daily.

Exercise:

Brisk walk/jog/cycle 30–40 min daily.

Add bodyweight exercises (squats, planks, pushups, skipping).

Yoga or dance for flexibility + stress relief.

Helo Behera,

Your current weight puts your BMI at around 22.6, which is in the healthy range. Losing 5-6 kg is a very healthy and achievable goal.

Just reduce Sugar and fat, carbohydrate too. Add veg and fruits 1 egg, 7-10 Any Nuts daily

30 min exercise daily

For skin, Sunscreen is must at least SPF 30 ( SPF 50 is better ) every single day, even when it’s cloudy or you’re indoors near a window. Reapply every 2-3 hours if you are outdoors.

Be patient and consistent. You didn’t gain the weight in 2 months, so it will take a few months to lose it healthily. Similarly, skin takes 4-6 weeks to show changes.

You can absolutely achieve your goals! Focus on building healthy habits one step at a time 😊
