Hi there!

Welcome to the forum. I'll provide you with feedback on your writing.

Firstly, I suggest articulating your sentences in a clearer and more concise manner. Try not to stretch your sentences when it's unnecessary and doesn't contribute to the overall substance or meaning that you're trying to relay. Doing this will help you be more cautious of the words that you're putting into your sentences. Remember that a simple straightforward approach can be as effective as complex structures, especially if you're working with data or chart interpretation.

For instance, take a look at this revision:

... overweight; and this figure ... Although the figure it reached the peak ...

Trying to omit as many filler words as you can help will help you curate more interesting and put-together information.

Best of luck as always!
