    Well you'll need to change some of your eating habits.. Buy a food scale. Even without labels you can find food databases that will give you calories. Start adding in lean meats (chicken, fish) adding in more fruits and vegetables. Learning portion control. And adding in exercises.

    More information on you will be helpful.

    What do you normally eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner? Male? Female?

    Do you cook your own food (the Pakistani food you mentioned?) If you cook it then measure all the ingredients with a scale and then look for how many calories each ingredient is online.

    It took me a year to lose 10 kg with calorie counting.I`m also 5'1 and I have 10 more kg to go. If you want to lose fast I`d suggest a high protein low carb diet. Other than that really try to find a way to weigh your food.
