文化背景
Historically, carrying extra weight was seen as a sign of 'Khaate-peete ghar se' (from a well-to-do family). Today, with the rise of lifestyle diseases in India, the phrase has become a central part of the national health conversation and the booming fitness industry.
The 'Karna' vs 'Hona' trick
Use `करना` (to do) when you are actively trying (dieting/gym). Use `होना` (to be/happen) when the weight is falling off naturally or as a result.
Mind your pronouns
In Hindi, weight (`वजन`) is masculine. So you say `वजन कम हो गया` (weight became less), never `हो गई`.

What It Means
वजन कम करना is the standard Hindi phrase for losing weight. It is a simple combination of वजन (weight), कम (less/little), and the verb करना (to do). You will hear this everywhere in modern India. It covers everything from a serious medical goal to a casual New Year's resolution. It is a functional, active phrase. It implies you are taking action to change your body.
How To Use It
You treat this like any other करना verb. If you are doing it right now, say वजन कम कर रहा हूँ. If you want to do it, say वजन कम करना चाहता हूँ. It usually follows a reason. For example, 'I am running to वजन कम करना.' You can also use it with 'need to' (पड़ेगा). It is very flexible. Just remember to conjugate the करना part based on who is talking and when it is happening.
When To Use It
Use it when talking to your trainer at the gym. Use it when you are politely declining a second helping of butter chicken. It is perfect for texting a friend about your new diet. You can also use it in a professional medical context. If a doctor tells you to get healthy, they will use this exact phrase. It is safe, clear, and understood by everyone from Delhi to Mumbai.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid using this as a direct command to someone else unless you are their doctor or trainer. Telling a friend वजन कम करो (lose weight) can be very rude. In India, commenting on weight is common, but it can still sting! Also, do not use it for inanimate objects. If a suitcase is too heavy, you do not 'lose weight' on it; you 'reduce its weight' using different phrasing. Stick to humans and pets for this one.
Cultural Background
In older Indian generations, being a bit 'healthy' (chubby) was a sign of prosperity. It meant you were well-fed and wealthy. Times have changed fast. Now, urban India is very fitness-conscious. Yoga, gyms, and diet apps are booming. वजन कम करना has moved from a medical necessity to a social trend. You will see it in Bollywood headlines and hear it in every kitty party or office lunch break.
Common Variations
You might hear दुबला होना which means 'to become thin.' That is more about the result. वजन घटाना is another common one. घटाना means 'to decrease.' It sounds a tiny bit more formal or mathematical than कम करना. If someone is joking, they might say they are 'melting' (पिघलना), but वजन कम करना remains the king of daily conversation.
使用说明
This phrase is incredibly stable across all registers of Hindi. The only thing to watch for is the gender of the subject when conjugating the verb `करना`—the phrase itself doesn't change, but the verb ending does.
The 'Karna' vs 'Hona' trick

The 'Healthy' Euphemism
In India, people often say someone is 'healthy' as a polite way to say they are overweight. If someone says you look 'healthy,' they might be suggesting it's time to `वजन कम करना`!

Yes, वजन घटाना (vajan ghatānā) is a perfect synonym. It sounds slightly more deliberate, like 'reducing' rather than just 'making less'.
You would say मेरा वजन कम हो गया है (Mera vajan kam ho gaya hai). Here we use होना because the weight loss is the completed result.
Yes, it can be very blunt. It's better to say आपको सेहत का ध्यान रखना चाहिए (You should take care of your health) instead.

Not really. For objects, use भार कम करना (bhār kam karnā) or simply सामान कम करना (reduce the luggage).
In poetry or literature, वजन can refer to the 'weight' or 'meter' of a verse, but in daily life, it's just body weight.
You can say वजन कम करने का सफर (vajan kam karne ka safar), though people often just use the English word 'journey'.
There isn't a specific slang word, but people might say चर्बी घटाना (charbi ghatānā), which literally means 'reducing fat'.
