Hi Madhur, knee pain can be due to several causes including injuries, mechanical problems, type of arthritis etc. Losing weight would surely help as it reduces stress on the weight-bearing joint. It would be helpful to know if the knee pain is acute or chronic and what symptoms you currently have besides pain. It would be advisable to see an orthopedic doctor to assess the underlying cause of the knee pain and have him/her advise suitable treatment options.
