Explanation / Answer

Albert needs 3000 calories to maintain his body weight if 15 cal/pound were taken into account.

According to the standards , a sedentary male required only 2000-2500 cal/day.

So ,Albert needs to cut down his calorie intake to 2500 calories per day to reduce his pounds.

A deficit of 1000 cal hepls him to reduce his weight and in addition a moderate exercise like walking,swimming or cardio will help him in acheiving his goal.

He has to impove or modify his diet so that he can cut down the calories.

A low carb and a high protein diet with high fibre will do the trick and should consume small balanced means with ample water.
