Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
BMI is the body mass index that is calculated when knowing your height and weight and depending on the results one is classified to degrees (underweight,normal,overweight,obese )

So if your weight is 91 kg and your height is 176 cm ,then your body mass index BMI depending of your weight and height is 29.38 and this is considered in overweight range .
Your maximum healthy weight based on a BMI of 25 is 77.5 kg
These are the references of BMI
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 >>>>>>HERE IS YOUR LEVEL
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

To reach your optimum weight in the normal range : you must be below 77.5 kg

so your target weight is that you need to lose 13.5
then knowing that to reach a desired weight healthfully you must lose between 0.5 -1 kg a week means at 1 month 4 kg maximum
then you need to lose 13.5 kg in around 3 month and half and if on a more simple plan in around 7 months

this plan will be more helpful and more satisfying results than losing between a day and night those extra kilos which might not been achieved except by surgery ,you need to be patient and follow these rules

-see how much you eat and cut off 3/4 -1/2 the size of what you eat you will find yourself gradually full with this portion of food with lower calories and hence lower weight easily .

-focus on fruits, veggies, egg whites, soy products, skinless breasts, fish, shellfish, nonfat dairy foods, and 95% lean meat.

-stop smoking and caffeine products they slow metabolism
-sleep well and relax ,stress interfere with metabolism too

-if any medical condition or medication causing the over weight then try to look for it by proper treatment
-Don't miss a breakfast meal and drink more fluids and water

-The best exercise routine for toning your body is a combination of cardio, which gets your heart rate up and increases overall fitness, and weight training, which strengthens your muscles. Do cardio exercises alternating between workouts
to replace fats by muscles

Remember gradual decrease in weight is more beneficial and long lasting as a routine
