Yes; your diabetic
It is extra hard for T2 to loose weight the extra insulin floating around in us makes that difficult. One thin you can do is reduce your carbohydrates in food. less carbs less insulin needed by your body = weight loss

Start a written log of what you eat/drink and portion size, next to it your blood sugar levels. Test before you eat [preprandial] for a baseline measurement and then 2-3 hours after you finish your meal [postprandial]. You do have a home glucose test meter, right? By comparing preprandial with postprandial, postprandial will inform you which foods elevate your levels and which ones do not.
You need to make a concentrated lifestyle change starting with foods. Along with eliminating sugary foods and liquids from your diet avoid foods made with white flour [breads, crackers, etc], starchy foods such as white rice, potatoes and pasta, and most dairy products.
" doing a regular exercise of 50 min"
I commend you for exercising as exercise is very important with helping to lower blood sugar and hypertension levels. But, do you break sweat 10 minutes into your workout? If not pick up the pace. And, eat before working out not after. Working out on an empty stomach makes you crave food after. Good luck -
