If u r new to exercises then I would suggest you to go slow n steady. Do alternate days yoga n cardio. U can also involve some strength training n aerobic, later after this covid situation ends u can also do cycling or swimming. I always suggest my patients to do variety of exercises/activities to train different parts of the body in various directions. Occasionally u can do Zumba dance or hot yoga too.
Next Steps
U can consult online via practo

Yoga and Cardio exercises can be done on the same day morning and evening. But I have few questions like do you have any systemic conditions like hypertension, diabetes or cardio problem? Are you on regular exercise or a beginner?
If you are a beginner then you should do cardio exercises and yoga on alternate days.
Next Steps
For further guidance and exercise protocol consult a Physician or Physiotherapist.
Health Tips
Do the exercises with proper guidance to avoid injuries.

Like to kindly remind you to check ur dietary pack first then come to exercise. U haven’t mentioned ur body mass index so that we can tell you accordingly. Reducing weight is not a easy fact . Kindly don’t confuse with yoga and cardio these two are different area but not for reducing weight . Kindly do consult a physiotherapist online so that we can guide you what sort of exercises to be done .
