HELLO ABY,
You are 44 years old, with weight 85 kg and wanting to reduce to 65 kg. You are concerned about belly fat and tight fat a problem ongoing for 5 years and worsening
MEDICAL PERSPECTIVE -excess fat, especially around belly and thighs, is often linked to slowed metabolism , hormonal changes (thyroid, insulin resistance), aging, sedentry lifestyle, stress and poor diet -Belly fat is more concerning than thigh fat because it is linked to diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation
AYURVEDIC VIEW -This is considered "Medoroga’- excess fat due to imbalance in Kapha dosha (responsible for structure, lubrication, fat) and sometimes pitta (if inflammation is present) -CAUSES= overeating, sedentry lifestyle, irregular meals, weak digestion, stress, low sleep quality
TREATMENT GOALS -reduce overall body fat with foucus on belly and tihts -boosts metabolism and digestive fire -balance kapha and pitta doshas -prevent recurrence of weight gain -improve energy, stamina, and joint mobility
EFFECTIVE EXERCISES focus on combining cardio, strength, and core exercises.
CARDIO(daily for 30-45 mins) -Brisk walking/jogging - cycling -jump rope - dancing or aerobics these help burn fat all over, including the belly.
CORE- TARGETED WORKOUTS(3-5 TIMES/WEEK) -plank = 3 sets of 30-60 sec - Russian twists= 3 sets of 20 reps - Leg raises -Mountainclimbers -Suryanamskar= 8 rounds daily
YOGA ASANAS

PRANAYAM(10 min total) -kapalbhati= 3 rounds for fat metabolism -bhastrika- 3 rounds -Anulom Vilom- 5 min -bhramari- 2 mins
DETOX PLAN EVERY 6 MONTHS PANCHAKARMA(under ayurvedic practitioner at clinic setup) -Virechana= liver detox, fat metabolism -basti = best for vata, back Pain relief, deep detox -abhyanga + swedana= toxin elimination, skin glow, flexibility -Nasya= clears sinuses, improves oxygenation

Hi Aby, You need to add workout in your daily regime along with some diet tweaks and medications. Bit medications cannot be taken for long time since burning excess fat can only be done through regular exercise and diet control. Find yourself a nearby Panchakarma centre and go for Panchakarma therapy named Udvartana in this medicated powder is massaged over the body in opposite direction of the hair follicles for 10 days. Along with this start with 1. Medohar Guggul 2 Tab Twice a day with warm water 2. Aloevera Juice 2tsp daily empty stomach in 1 glass of lukewarm water
Avoid packaged food canned soda containing synthetic sugar at all case.
