Hi, your problem is postural malalignment, the reason for rejection in armed forces is your increased vulnerability in intense physical training due to malalignment.
Moreover you should meet a physio and go for posture examination.
Your muscles control alignment of your body by working on bony levers and joints. To a good extent you can improove this by some facilitation exercise of your hip muscles and foot muscles but if you have malalignment due to altered shape of bones that can only be rectified with surgery which is not necessary unless it is giving you any trouble in daily routine
Next Steps
Meet a Physiotherapist or consult online with me
Health Tips
Hip facilitation exercise e.g. clamshell exercise

Hello.
it is very important to know the gravity of your problem . Normally when thighs are heavy it appears that knees are touching, so it is very difficult to say without proper assessment. Some degree of knock knee is acceptable in army examination.
