Hi Rajesh,
Excess weight increases the hearts workload. Excess weight tends to raise blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, while lowering HDL cholesterol.
Losing as little as 10 pounds can have a positive impact on your risk for heart disease. However, I do not know of a correlation between cholesterol and BMI that can be used to estimate cholesterol levels.
All the best on your journey to heart health and weight loss!
