I weekly go for prawn, chicken, beef and egg as source of protein ...

That is generally not the way to do it.
If anything, it is somewhat misleading.

Just weekly, not daily? Aren't you supposed to stuff yourself with protein daily?

You need to measure your daily intake.

So if you're starting off, don't try to run but take steps which you can integrate into your life. Suddenly upping your protein intake takes effort and you don't want to fall off that bike in the long run.
You have calculated a daily protein intake level, that is good. Protein from real food is better than supplements. But there is also the volume of real food we can take daily if we are not used to it, plus cost is a big consideration.

What would be good to do is to make increments into your lifestyle that you can keep going. So my recommendation is that while you can increase the protein intake per meal depending on the comfort of your stomach, you may just want to start off supplementing with a scoop of protein powder daily and see how that works for you. You don't have to alter your diet too much and you can measure the effects of increased protein intake and adjust as you go.

Don't go from zero to hundred. Small sustainable steps.
