Answer
Hi Sneha,
I'm not an expert about post pregnancy, but by the sounds of it you might have some muscle separation in your abdominal muscles caused by your pregnancy. What I can suggest is for you to see a physio and they'll advise on specific exercises that you can do to tighten up your stomach. They may even advise that you need to wear a waist support (like a corset) to help the muscles heal together.
As for your weight loss issue. There is no real secret other than good nutrition and regular exercise. Walking is fine, some weight training and eating non-processed natural foods. Low in saturated fats, not much starch or sugars at night time and plenty or pure water.
Sign up to my free newsletter at: www.xfitness.com.au and each month I will give you free tips to lose weight and tone up. There are also past issues of my newsletter on their for your parusal.
Hope this helps...
Robbie
