You can easily reduce weight with exercise and eating lesser than usual. It is best to reduce naturally. Depending on one particular thing (product or food item) is not a long term solution. You seems to be following some good habits in eating. All you need to do is to exercise 45 minutes daily.

You need to see a dermatologist to take care of the itching. You are losing hair because of this and not vice versa. Eat good protein foods, drink milk, eat nuts, fish, whole grains, lots of fruits and vegetables and water.

You have not mentioned your age or your lifestyle. You can start by cutting down on rice, avoiding fried foods and sweets and eating more vegetables and fruits. Exercise 45 to 60 minutes daily or 4 times a week. Do get back to me after a week on these changes.

Give me more details like your weight and height, what kind of oil you use to cook and what foods you eat. Your exercise is good. Continue. Increase fibre in your meals.

Add flax seeds one tablespoon to your rice or yoghurt. Eat one tablespoon of nuts daily

Use only whole grains and fat free milk and buttermilk.

Avoid sweets and desserts.

If you are overweight you need to reduce weight. The tips in the article Home remedies to reduce cholesterol will also help.
