Your question / comment does not mention your weight and height or any other medical problems that you may have. What is important to underatand is;
1. Your BMI- which if more than 37.5 kg/m2 you are morbidly obese. In case you are a diabetic then bmi 32.5 makes you morbidly obese.
Next Steps
2. Your fat percentage- if above 30 then think of bariatrics.
Health Tips
3. Your visceral fat content - if high then liposuction is not for you.
4. Your excess body weight - if more than 20 kg, chances that you will regain weight after dieting or lipo is high.
