Weight loss will be faster with strength training and being in calorie recommended by what healthifyme app says (after you add details and Target weight).
Buy a measuring scale and weigh your foods so that you can log and track calories. Do this for a month atleast to get a sense of portion control for each type of food.
For cardio do only at the end of strength training session for 15- 25 mins on machine with more movements like elliptical trainer or cycle.
Doing a lot of cardio will make you body go into scarcity mode and burn less calories in the remainder of day. So weight loss will be slower and body will be skinny/saggy - no shape.
Strength training will force muscle breakdown and rebuild - which does weight loss faster.
For veg - use whey protein or vegan protein to meet 1/3rd of daily protein needs and rest from paneer, skyr(Icelandic yogurt) etc

Also getting a personal trainer is worth building the habit and doing weight less well in the initial few months.

Btw is healthify app effective? Like some of my frnd refused to suggest this so

Gym is secondary. It will help you build and follow your rountine. The primary thing you should focus is diet and rest. You dont need expensive supplements. Focus on rountine in intial few months. Once you are confident in your discipline, you can go for protein and creatine (after 3-4 months i would suggest)
All the best op, you will get your dream physique

Can you suggest some resources for best diet if possible? Had a hard time finding one

I used to just google the protein rich, less calories, keywords and built a diet around it. You can ask you personal trainer, he can create your diet chart.

Veg diet preferences: fruits for vitamins, all kinds of beans for protein and also soya dairy products. Dont skip meal, atleast get minimum amount of cals if you can. Drink plenty of water, preferably 4-5 litres daily

++ peanuts, high protein +- rice, based on calorie avoid packaged food, no matter how hard it says, ngms/ npercent protein Would not recommend protein-snack bars

Second @FreshlyBrewed. Showing up everyday/building a routine has made significant changes.
If you try to optimize everything (i.e. diet, gym) at once, you'll eventually lose momentum after a month or two.
You also don't need to necessarily join a gym. I use dumbbells and do bodyweight exercises at home. When things get easy, do slower reps or increase reps and focus on form.
Started with pushups and biceps (using dumb-bells) twice a week. I used to run ever since high school, added a day for that as well. Then slowly, added a day for lower body exercises.
I also think the mentality of giving it your all in the gym is counter-productive. Since you only have x units of energy available in a day. You need to distribute it accordingly across work, upskilling, gym etc.

Will try thanks bro

DM me - I'll help you with everything I learnt in the last 24 months.

Bro it says need to get 150grapes . Can u dm me plz if possible

Done

- Start eating more protein. if you are veg , have eggs and soya beans or paneer. More protein will automatically lead to feeling full leading to less eating leading to a calorie deficit
- do strength training mandatory plus some cardio (but after strength training and not before)

Simple but effective advice. Do this consistently for 1 month to notice difference. Track calories if possible else explore slow carb diet.

All the very best

Thanks broπ
