I'm 150cm, currently 48kg plus minus.

4 months ago and before that my weight is 44.8-45.2kg.

My eating habits:
BF - Coffee with LF milk or coffeemate
Lunch - normal mixed rice or at times I skipped lunch when too busy
Dinner - no rice, vege, meat, fish. Less sweet fruits such as guava.

I've been maintaining my diet and of coz at times will binge on some junk food such as chips, popcorn, or Mc D, KFC. however 4 months ago I realized my weight keep going up steadily.. 45, 46, 47 and now 48!

I had my thyroid hormone T4, TSH  checked for twice, it's below normal! And i guess that's the culprit!

Now I'm really struggling to lose those 4 dang Kgs....

Hmm, sounds interesting.

Practically no breakfast, sometimes skip lunch, with lunch probably around 700 cals or less, and dinner looks like around the same cals too. Is that persistenty on a calorie deficit?

I presume minimal exercise too? Are you either skinny fat (Google this term) / bony? Just curious to know more.

Perhaps the lack of nutrition and the persistent calorie deficit is one of the factor that caused the thyroid problem too.

Cut down sugar in your diet. That's the main culprit

This guy experiment drinking 10 cans of Coke everyday for 1 month while still continuing exercise.

If he took 10 cans a day, and assuming other parts of his diet remained constant, that's an additional 1,400 calories per day.

Of course he would gain weight, anyone would.

Gender : Male
Age : 18 Years Old
Weight : 75kg (plus minus)
Height : Roughly 170cm

Aim : Lose weight but more into looks then weight

So here is my story : From the details given above , I am definitely overweight but not obese in terms of BMI . I have been trying to lose weight but nothing seems to work.
I have been trying to eat clean. Eating less carbs and more protein . I don't drink sugary drinks , only plain water. I eat fruits (mainly apple) and veggies or just drink water if I'm hungry.Here are the details :

Breakfast : Rarely
Lunch : A little bit of rice + protein (fish / chicken / meat) + veggies
Dinner: Fish/Chicken/Meat + veggies

As for exercises , I don't do much as I find this very taxing and I have asthma plus with the haze . However , I did the 7min workout for a few cycle if I had the chance . Plus , I don't know what kind of exercise is suitable for me.

As for additional details , I have an endomorph body type ( which looks rather girly IMO) and I think most of my fat is centered  around my thighs , calf and my butt making them appear bigger and abnormal. This is seriously a pain in the ass as I had been laugh for having a big butt as it stands out a lot (I'm serious about this one) . I had to buy a pant that is 2 inch bigger just so my butt can fit in . (example : my waist 32 inch but i had to buy 34 inch) And whenever I wear shirts , it wouldn't look flat from the side but it would have a HUGE bump over my butt if I tucked my shirt out .  I know that spot reduction is not possible thus im trying to lose weight overall. I'm trying to get slim legs with the butts not appearing in any outstanding way . As for my upper body , I'm trying to achieve an upper body that is nor muscly but not fatty , just normal . And my face is kinda round but I know I have to drop my overall weight to have my face slim down.

I would like to have suggestion for my intake and exercises and cardio suggestion as I can't find that suits me . My main focus to get an ideal body rather than losing weight . Thanks a lot for any help given from you sifus . Plus I am not familiar with all the calorie counting and how to calculate ones calorie ,

Firstly, BMI is a very impractical thing to be using. You should be looking at body fat %.

Secondly, losing fat is pretty simple. These two factors are the golden rules (1) Reduce calorie consumption and (2) Ensure adequate weight-bearing exercise.

To find your calorie requirement, use this site: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

(1) Select goal: Lose fat (10%)
(2) Select the Katch-McArdle research model
(3) For your body fat %, scroll downwards on this site and find what you look similar to http://www.builtlean.com/2012/09/24/body-f...tage-men-women/
(4) Ignore the calibration factor and other settings
