Hi guys,
Jan to April I manage to lose 8kg by doing these steps
1) Totally eliminate sugary drinks.
2) Eat less. I literally ate the same thing but lesser than before.
3) Start walking/jogging/swimming. At least 45min daily.

I didn't lose any more weight since last month, and BMI calculation stated that I'm still slightly overweight. To be honest I'm satisfied with my current number and planning to gain muscle instead.
By that I meant getting fit. Below is physique I'm aiming for.

Can anyone suggest good workout routine that includes only barbell and dumbell? Reason is I have easy access to those and don't have to go to proper gym.

Continue to do whatever that has worked. Increase the intensity and volume. What is your swim speed and distance? What is your run speed and distance? Improve on these workout.

ahh I never actually measure it
I just did 45-60 min run and be done with it. I guess its 4-7km. More like speedwalk actually because I'm afraid I'll ruin my legs because I have some ankles problem.
But I got your point, I need to start measuring and improving my speed and distance.

By the way, I don't think these 2 alone will help me exercise necessary muscle to get that physique isn't it?

Swim harder.

General swimmer body is unlike that in my opinion. They have good core but generally don't have toned chest etc, akin to marathon runner.
