Ever since this is my problem, even if I reduce my food intake my tummy is still big. As I observe I believe I have gain more weight to the point that my ankles hurts when I walk. Right now I only do running and walking, is there anything else I can do?

I tried loosing weight by eating low calorie foods - like pasta and cutting out meats. I gained weight. Turns out I have insulin resistance. In my case I need to eat other foods. Maybe same for you. I would ask your physician about it. The test is pretty simple.

I believe insulin has something to do with sugar, is that right? I think your right I should better ask a dietitian about my proper food intake. The last time I checked, I'm about 90 kilos. Well its a long to way to go to lose some.

@tragicpoet - Exactly right - insulin helps you use / store sugar. If your system isn't working quite right (like me) you can end up eating low calorie foods and still gaining weight... surprise! Best of luck to you

I did my part, but I think my best wasn't good enough. I believe I need to try harder. Besides the doctor, I would also like to consult a gym instructor about losing weight.

@tragicpoet Just consult a doctor. They know better.
When I suffered from over weight, I consulted the doctor and at that time, I was already a newbie in zumba so he encouraged me to continue doing exercises.

Have you ever heard about a wear on strap on the waist? You could possibly buy one at the mall. This is somehow called as waist trimmer. Buy this and wear it whenever possible and keep yourself moving if you have time. Eating less serving than the usual could also be a help.

Thank you for sharing a link to me @Letranknight2015. I believe the food we are eating also affects on how we gain or loose weight. On my case, think I should cut out on eating rice and meat and start eating vegetables as you suggest. It would be a big struggle for me but who knows I might loose weight on the process.

I believe so too, sodas contains too much sugar on it. I'm not really a soda drinker, I also used to drink 8 glasses a day. Thanks for the advice.
