Go to this website WITH your daughter. Educate yourselves together and learn what to do. You control her setting, but she is ultimately responsible for what she puts in her mouth.
My 10 year old almost 11 year old is overweight. We did this together and it has helped him think before he eats.
Good luck, Obesity is a serious health problem, especially in children. Her risk of heart disease, asthma, diabetes and more is high if she does not change her lifestyle.

Thanks Michelle and Amy for your replies. We are going for jogging daily since there are summer holidays in Pakistan. I dont give her chips, candies, packed juices or other junk food. But she loves our traditional food which I make myself. actually she is my only child. She wants to play but we don`t have kids of her age around so I daily takes her to a park to play.

I agree with Michelle don't have that rich food in the house for her to eat. Make sure there are plenty of healthy snacks on hand hand like fruits and vegetables, and find an activity that you both can do together that gets her up and moving, hiking, yoga, walking, biking, swimming, are just a few good ones that I can think of.

One don't have the junk food in the house and two you need to get her up and moving.
