Yes you are overweight dear.
Doing cardio is great, but you have to modify your diet as well for weight loss.
A clear calorie deficit needs to be followed, keeping the nutritional values of the diet intact.
Do some strength training as well along with cardio, so as to not loose muscle mass.
Only cardio will lead to loss of fat as well as muscle mass.
So cardio+ strength training will help you loose weight as well as keep u toned at the same time.
And yes don't forget diet is the key.
Next Steps
kindly connect to know the details of diet to be followed and have an effective weight loss.
