20 kg in 4 months? i can lose 3-4 in a week ... with cardio and cutting back on soft drinks etc.
startin gym after eid...
Eat healthy bro. That was the thing for me -- i eat more healthy carbohydrates (whole grain, wheat, flax, nuts , green leafy veggies), eat only healthy fats (monounsaturated , omega-3, 7s) and limit intake of saturated fat to less than 20 gs per day. As for protein, it really as much (maybe about 50-60 g) a day since Protein isn't really an energy source per se compared to carbohydrates. In fact, excessive intake of protein can promote ketongesis. I've been following the MFG (Mediterranean food guide)....its great ! Check it out !

Since you're tall , being at around 87 kgs isn't bad at all, especially if most of that weight is in the muscles or your bones. We're all genetically designed to look one way-- either we are ectomorphs , endomorphs, or mesomorphs. For me i'm an ectomorph, but just trying to add more weight. Its all about healthy, long term, body management, bro. Looks like you have a good appetite with you, the only thing i'll recommend for you is to eat more fiber; green leafy veggies, or apple, grapefruit, carrots or any fiber based food. Its good because it will increase your BMR (basal metabolic rate) because it will encourage greater peristaltic activity --- means you'll have a healthy fecal activity, plus, its great for our colon health ---- this is important for us men.
Keep it up man. And remember, its all about long term , healthy body managment.

multivitamin tab, efa [fish oil] , triflex were supplemented along with 2 scoops protein.. one optimum 100% whey gold st and the other was dymatize protein gormet blend which tastes crap but dymatize is one of the few companies which dont do amino spiking in protein powders and is gmp certified -- this powder has calcium otherwise I take calcium supplement aswell
I also cut down on rice.. significantly
water melons helped a lot

I am an endo-mesomorph
Ectomorphs are the luckiest.. they can do all the carb loading, eat pizzas and still have 6pack abs

Shit.. i dont even know what that endo,meso stuff means!
That's one of the reasons why I have to force myself to go to the gym, Sir. Otherwise I'll just eat and eat and excuse it. I do have a very fast BMR, so i have to eat enough. One thing that helps is the fiber; i've been starting with spinach and kale -- a new for me. So far, really good , it really fills me up fast and i have been able to control my predilection for cookies and ...my ultimate sin of sin....red velvet cake....
