Since you are on antipsychotic medicines for schizophrenia, weight gain might be one of the side effects. To lose weight you need be a calorie deficit diet. Here are some tips which you can follow:
1. Start with small changes: Start with 1 change at a time. You do not have to start everything at once. Begin with walking daily for 30 minutes, gradually increasing over time.
2. Eat regular meals: Do not skip meals. Include 3 main meals and 2 small snacks. This keeps your energy stable and reduces cravings.
3. Focus on homemade food: Homemade foods like roti, sabji, dal, fruits in balanced portions help you lose weight and provide essential vitamins and minerals.
4. Include protein: Protein keeps you satiated and helps in losing weight.
5. Keep your mind relaxed: Your mental health is just as important. Take one day at a time, follow your medication, and be kind to yourself.
6. Avoid Processes and packaged food items: These foods are high in saturated fats and sugar.
Next Steps
Consult me for more better and individualized diet plan.

As a psychologist & dietician I can say, you should work on your metabolism rate simultaneously vata level of the body. As schizophrenia medicines will lead to weight gain at time. For working on entire issues you need to share your prescribed medication. Medical history & simultaneously we can check the vata level. That will be best solution to get desired results

If you’re taking antipsychotic medication. These can often cause weight gain due to increased appetite, slower metabolism or hormonal changes. But with the right strategy , you can lose weight safely and steadily
If you take antipsychotic may increase cravings for carbs, slow down metabolism, reduce physical activity
So need to :
Control hunger and cravings
Improve metabolism naturally
Stay active within your comfort zone
Daily routine:
Eat meals on time - control cravings and hormones
Sleep 7-8 hours- poor sleep leads to weight gain
Stay hydrated: 2.5 -3.0 liter per day
Exercise:
Start with 20-30 min walk daily
Gradually add :
Yoga
Body weight strength exercises
When taking antipsychotic medication
Avoid high sugar foods and junk - they spike cravings
Increase fiber intake- slows down digestion and control sugar
Add probiotics curd , buttermilk- support gut brain connection
