First of all she should start start focusing on fatty liver. Fatty liver also leads to obesity sometimes. Metabolic rate go slow due to fatty liver. For that ahe can start with mild walk followed by high fibre diet. Rest you can share the report and her complete dietary routine to start a proper plan.

Namaste, Fatty liver grade 1 is reversible. Her changing hormones and medications would have caused her to gain belly fat. Lifestyle and diet changes will be required to be implemented soon so that she doesn't get other issues associated to this. Pls take an appointment for detailed plan and how to implement the changes.

Hi
Good evening!
Some medicines for depression and anxiety can cause weight gain. Talk to the doctor and see, or consult a psychologist.
Grade 1 fatty liver can be easily reversed with diet. However, it is good to increase her exercise levels slowly. Please work with a trainer for a month, to get her into an exercise regimen. Start with walking for 5-10 mins everyday.
For larger belly, here are some general tips: (since I do not know her current dietary pattern)
1. Focus on getting 7-8 hours of sound sleep
2. Include fruits and vegetables everyday
3. Reduce eating excess salt, sugar and oil.
4. Drink at least 2.5 litres of water a day.
I would recommend getting a personalised nutrition plan for her, due to other health issues.

Grade 1 fatty liver can be easily reversed with diet
To reduce belly fat you can try a combination of diet and exercise
1. Eat healthy:
Focus on plant based foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains.choose lean protein like fish, low fat dairy, and limiting processed foods.
You can try eating smaller portions.
2. Exercise regularly:
You can also try strength training at least twice a week.
Aerobic exercise includes household works, gardening, and playing with small children.
3. Other lifestyle changes :
Try to avoid sugary drinks, get enough sleep.
