I think you have thyroid and over weight. Follow proper diet plan which is according to your weight. You want to buy cycle for exercise. But not enough a cycle for exercise, you need yoga and pranayam also. Which you can do at home. And do some extra exercise for weight loss.

Sure do that. It will help. In addition - avoid all junk food and all sweet food. Low fat diet does not work for majority of people. Eat wholesome nutritious food full of fibers, good quality fat like ghee and coconut etc. Don't focus on calories but on nutritional density and diversity. Simultaneously working on exercise and diet will surely help. Best rate to lose weight is 1/2 kg per week. If that happens, it is least likely to go high again in future. Be gentle and patient with yourself. Demonstrate commitment in your persistent efforts. Make comprehensive change in diet, exercise, sleep and stress in your routine. This is called lifestyle medicine. If you can not do it on your own, find some expert who can help you in this over extended period of time.
