Primarily,do a body analysis n check the status of fat,bone and lean mass in your body.Then accordingly aim for a increase in lean mass or fat loss.
Protein intake is 1 gm / kg body weight for a normal person.But if you r strength training/weight training you may need 1.2-1.5 gm/kg body wt.

Consult directly on my Practo profile for detailed information and consultation.

Hi
The ideal protein intake for muscle building is 1.5gm per kg body weight,which mean 126gm off protein in a day but you can start slowly and reach to the daily requirements of protein as per your body weight.
The fat lose will happen automatically when you met your protein intake and low calorie diet.
For proper guidanc you can reach out to me on practo
