Hello, I understand your concern and it's good you loosed 1.5 kgs. You can loose still further but go gradually because that would be healthy way.
I know schedule would be tight but still try to get just half hour per day for exercise. Any physical activity you like you can include like walking dancing or playing your favorite sport.
Cut down direct sugar, ghee, and oily fried foods in your meals. Avoid refined flour product and bakery products.
Consume more of fresh fruits and sprouts and salads.
Next Steps
consult a professional Dietician and get detailed diet chart for you.
