i noticed how your breakfast is light and that you also do not eat lunch most of the time.

i learned from my PE teacher in high school that if your body does not receive the nutrients and calories it needs, you can actually gain fat (not necessarily weight).

The reason is because your body does not know when it will receive nutrients in the future, and in response will convert a larger percentage of the food you intake into stored fat than if you had a regular diet that adequately nourishes your body.

So if you are looking to lose weight, i would definitely look at diet before exercise as diet constitutes as the largest contributor to your body fat percentage.

cut out some (not entirely!) carbs (rice, potatoes, pasta) and eat more veggies and protein rich foods (fish, chicken). if you eat a lot of carbs but do not expend the energy it produces through digestion, it will convert into fat quickly.
