Hello, Get your thyroid assay done, which will help to see if there is hypothyroidism, because that can be one of the reasons for increase in weight. Your BMI is 31.22 kgs/M2, showing grade 1 obesity. This needs to be reduced. Your ideal body weight should be 65 kgs. If hypothyroidism is detected then controlling that will help in reducing weight and even overcoming depression. So please come back with the thyrroid assay results. Thanks.

Do regular exercise or yoga to get rid of tension. Tension also increases weight in some cases as people go for binge eating during tension .get your thyroid test done to clear any doubt.
