I am 128 Kgs.

I have been escaping most physical problems but recently 2 things caught my attention:

1. Pain in knees when subjected to prolonged cold weather/sitting in a position for too long. I am scared to death about this.

2. A lot of my clothes don't fit me. I hate having to kill my dressing sense, just to find a pair of clothes that fit.


Please suggest some exercises that can help me lose weight/fat. I know about cardio and lifting etc. I want to know that I am doing enough to lose weight.

This question may be too generic for you all but I have been listening to a hundred opinions. I have begun doing weights lately, but they don't seem enough to me and cardio is kind of boring, except when it's done for warm up.



Limitations:

 I eat out. Don't know how to cook much. I am a vegetarian. I also don't want a keto diet, it drove me crazy and I couldn't concentrate on anything else.

One more thing: I am Indian, so a lot of stuff which I find if blogs isn't available.

Limited money, so can't afford costly programs.


Strengths: Although hard to believe, I have stamina, strength and can work hard. Willing to workout for about 1.5 hrs per day.
