Hello rudraaksh,

You seemed to be in the right track as far as your exercises are concerned. However, you need to try portioning your meals and know how many calories your body needs to function daily, given your current activity level.

You'll need to eat more to lose more (it sounds counter-intuitive) because if not, you actually go into starvation mode. If you're burning too many calories than what you actually need to, you won't be burning fat. Your body will be tapping into your muscles for energy instead and keep everything else (your fat) as reserves.

Hope this helps
