To reduce body fat percentage, it's necessary to adopt a healthy diet and engage in regular exercise. The diet should include a variety of healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, proteins, and healthy fats. Exercise, on the other hand, can involve any physical activity that raises your heart rate, such as walking, running, swimming, or resistance training. Additionally, it's essential to try to reduce stress and alcohol consumption, as both can affect body fat.
