    Yoga increases but not necessarily weight loss due to it is low impact. It does make you aware of your fitness levels and people usually change their eating habits.
    Nothing beats healthy eating.

    Concentrate on overall fitness and maintaining a healthy heart.
    Eat a combination of lean protein and healthy carbohydrates every few hours throughout the day to speed up fat loss and maintain stable energy levels. For best results, eat six times a day. Try balancing your meals 70% protein 30% carbs. Eat your proteins from lean sources (Chicken, fish, boiled eggs, lean beef with all the fat drained off) and beans (lentil, lima, chile or any type of bean) For your carbs stay away from breads and rice. They do provide energy but they are high in calories. Choose leafy vegetables, carrots, raisins, broccoli and fresh fruits. Weight train intensely, three times per week on alternating days with aerobic exercise three times per week.
    Drink 10 to 20 glasses water per day NO SODA
    Good Luck !!!

    Combine 15-20 minutes of Anulom-Vilom pranayam with your yoga. It will definitely help you reduce weight.

    Also, if you have a lot of fat around the belly region, start with abdomen related yoga exercises and the Pavanamuktasana series. You should see results in a few weeks.
