GERD is known to be a consequence of obesity. Please evaluate yourself by calculating your own BMI. A BMI over 27.5 kg/m2 is considered to be obesity.
Next visit a Laparoscopic surgeon to clinically evaluate and advise investigations including ultrasound abdomen to rule out associated problems like gallstones and fatty liver disease, an upper GI endoscopy to evaluate the esophageal sphincter, maybe a manometry.
Thereafter a treatment plan can be prepared including dietary advice, medical management and a discussion of possible surgical options
Next Steps
Visit a laparoscopic surgeon with interest in surgical management of obesity and upper GI disorders.

Hi as your symptoms are suggestive of gastritis. Follow some life style changes : stop tea coffee. Avoid spicy food. Don't eat cabbage / capsicum/ don't drink / eat citrus fruits. If symptoms persists then It's better to get a upper Gastroscopy done to rule out ulcers/ erosions/ presence of H.pylori infection. By then you can take tab. PANTODAC DSR (1-0-1) HALF AN HOUR BEFORE MEAL FOR 7 DAYS. Sup. GAVISCON 10 ml THREE TIMES A DAY AFTER MEAL FOR 10 DAYS. Report the progress. Feel free to ask any further quary related to your problem. Regards.
Next Steps
Start physical activity. cut short oil rich food
