Please be very careful and don't rush into anything. After my delivery, I had some complications and tried too hard to lose weight too fast, which made things worse. It's crucial to consult your doctor before starting any exercise or diet plan. They can check for things like diastasis recti.
Welcome to motherhood! Many women ask this. The key is consistency and not crash dieting. Start with a balanced diet, lots of water, and gentle exercises like walking or pelvic floor exercises once cleared by your doctor. Breastfeeding can also help. Be patient with your body; it took nine months to grow, it will take time to recover.
Honestly, don't ignore getting a checkup first. I tried a crash diet and intense exercises right after my second child, thinking I could just 'bounce back'. Ended up with back pain and other issues because I hadn't checked for core strength or internal healing. Go to your doctor first, please.

At a good hospital, they always emphasize that every body is different post-pregnancy. Ask your gynecologist very clearly about when you can start exercising and what kind. Also, inquire about a postpartum nutritionist if needed. Don't compare your journey with others, focus on your own health timeline.
My wife faced the same challenge. What worked for her was patience and consistency. She started with gentle walks after a few weeks, and then slowly incorporated some core exercises recommended by her physiotherapist. Focus on healthy eating and breastfeeding if possible, it helps a lot.
