Based on your height and weight, its clear that your BMI is a bit above the healthy range for your age and height, which might be contributing to excess belly fat. In Ayurveda, this could be due to an imbalance in Kapha dosha, typically associated with a sedentary lifestyle, excessive intake of heavy or oily foods, and stress.

Start by incorporating some simple aerobic exercises like brisk walking, jogging, or cycling, which are great for burning fat. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week. Alongside, practicing yoga, especially poses like Surya Namaskar, Trikonasana (triangle pose), and Bhujangasana (cobra pose) can enhance metabolism and engage core muscles, aiding in the reduction of belly fat.

Continue with Triphala Churna but consider increasing it to 1 teaspoon if tolerated, as it aids digestion and detoxification. One potent Ayurvedic remedy for weight management is Guggul, known for enhancing fat metabolism. 500 mg of Triphala Guggul after meals could promote fat loss, but always consult a practitioner to ensure it aligns with your constitution and any other conditions.

Dietary changes can also greatly aid in managing belly fat. Opt for light, freshly prepared meals. Incorporate whole grains, lentils, green leafy vegetables, and fruits like apples and pears. Try to include spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger, which are known to enhance digestion and metabolism.

Lastly, ensure regularity in meal timings and practices like drinking warm water throughout the day can support digestion and cleanse the system. Avoid cold beverages and excessive dairy or sugary foods, as they can aggravate Kapha.

With diligence and consistency, these practices can support reducing belly fat over time. Results may vary based on individual constitution and lifestyle, so patience is key, and adjustments may be needed based on your own body’s response.
