Hi, I can see that you have consulted a cardiologist. You have also decided to lose weight. At your age you will be able to get fit within a few months. Your BP will also come under control when you get to the ideal body weight. The statins will help you control your cholesterol levels also. Wish you all the best.
Next Steps
Get a similar check every month until you reach 80 kg. Don't overly exercise now, gradually build up your stamina. A personal trainer will be able to motivate you.
Health Tips
Do share your reports with me and I will help you understand the condition of your health.
