What to change first
Protein is almost always the gap. If the day above lands under about 60 g, add a cup of curd at breakfast and a second katori of dal at lunch before changing anything else.
Then oil: three teaspoons a day per person is roughly 120 kcal, and a heavy hand silently adds 300 without the plate looking any different.

What is a good diet plan for someone in Puducherry?
One built from south indian rice meals, which is what the day above shows. Keeping the food familiar matters more than the specific chart, because an unfamiliar plan gets abandoned.
Can I eat rice and still lose weight?
Yes. A katori of cooked rice is about 130 kcal. Portion decides this, not the grain.
