So ur BP is in borderline range so first treatment is always diet and lifestyle. Need to avoid salt and make it < 5 gms per day. Need to reduce weight and exercise regularly. After all these changes no improvement then can start u on anti hypertensive treatment.
Next Steps
Avoid salt exercise regularly
