I am glad to know that you have taken the first step towards losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle by seeking advice. For losing weight, you first need to set your metabolism levels and body clock right. You being a male are at an added advantage of not going through constant hormonal fluctuations that lead to weight gain. You must:- a) Follow a strict dietary regime and set you body clock right b) Have small frequent meals and not skip meals c) Not compromise on nutrition while trying to lose weight
