I am a 41 year old man of short height (5ft 3. I am highly overweight. My weight is 81 kilos. I am not obese, but majority of my weight comes from my paunch, which is abnormally inflated. I went on a crash diet 3 months and reduced my weight from 81 to 65 kilos. But, due to my nature of work which requires me to sit long hours with absolute no exercise, I have regained the weight to 81 kilos only. I have problems in getting up from seat, from bed or any inclined position to straight posture or stand. My knees & ankles also pain due to this overload of weight whenever I try moving. My lifestyle, is get up by 7-7.30 am, going to my office in a cab, (avoid buses in rush hour), sitting entire 8-10hrs in office, come back home by 8-9pm by cab again. Have my dinner (either oats or maggi, I strictly avoid rice) at 11.30pm-12 midnight. I am a non-alcoholic, but a heavy smoker (40-50 sticks/day) and take about 15-18 large mug full of black tea, throughout the day. I am also a non-diabetic. Please advise me how to reduce my paunch and hence my weight, without exercise (as I don't have any time for exercise. Waiting for your reply. Thanks.

You need to change your life style, otherwise you will not be able to work for very long. For details regarding obesity read my health tips on this website. For more info send me a personal question. Stop smoking and drinking so much tea. Have dinner at 9 pm and go to sleep early and go for an hour long walk in the morning.
