Ans: Hi. I'm sorry to hear about your condition. It's important to understand that weight loss involves a two-pronged approach: reducing calorie intake and burning calories. Given that your ankle and knee pain prevent you from doing weight training, I recommend visiting a physiotherapist for an assessment. They can provide therapeutic management for your pain, enabling you to engage in aerobic and weight training exercises to some extent. Wishing you quick recovery
