Hello Bimla,
Post delivery fat can be quite stubbornly get rid of, but it’s not impossible. I recommend you start with intermittent fasting , follow a low carbohydrate diet along with simple exercises to practice at home. Do a bit of yoga and deep breathing to control stress, as this is also a factor which interferes with weight loss.
Next Steps
Diet modifications mandatory
