Starting the treatment for Diabetes should never be done by Tele-consultation. It should be a consultation with a General Physician sitting across the table.

Your HBA1C is on the upper limit of prediabetes.Though your FBS is normal, suggest you can repeat the FBS with at least 8 hours of fasting and 2 hour 75 gm post glucose test to correlate with the present HBA1C.

Answer for Practo:
Thank you for sharing your reports.
Your HbA1c is 6.4%, which falls in the pre-diabetes range.
Your fasting blood sugar (FBS) is 89.1 mg/dL, which is within the normal range.
This means your blood sugar control is borderline, and there is a risk of developing diabetes in the future. At this stage, no medication is required, but lifestyle changes are strongly recommended.
Advice:
Follow a healthy diet (low in sugar and refined carbs).
Exercise regularly (30 minutes daily).
Maintain a healthy weight.
Repeat your HbA1c after 3–6 months.
Early care can prevent diabetes. Stay proactive and healthy!

Good work.
HbA1c for assessing diabetes is really a good option since it gives the average blood glucose level for last 3 months .
So normal HbA1c level for your age will <5.5 %
Given your value you come in to the category of pre diabetic.
So both Fasting blood sugar and Post prandial blood sugar levels contributes to HbA1C.
Your Fatsing blood glucose level in 89, which is very good.
But your post meal blood glucose levels may be increased that gives you increased HbA1C.
This can be managed with diet and Physcial activity.
Next Steps
Daily physical activity of 45 mins /day.
Strength training to increase insulin sensitivity
avoid meals with only carbohydrates,increase the protein and fiber intake which slows down the glucose absorption.
Health Tips
monitor once 6months to see if it progressing .

Your HbA1c is in the pre-diabetic range, and it's quite close to the cut-off for diabetes. This is a warning sign, and it's important to act early to prevent progression.
Your weight seems appropriate for your height, but keep in mind that many Indians tend to be "skinny fat" as in having normal weight but high abdominal fat.
Waist circumference is a better indicator of metabolic health than BMI. A waist size of 90 cm or more in men indicates abdominal obesity, which increases the risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease,even if BMI is normal.
Now is the time to focus on fitness and dietary changes:
Reduce carbs, processed foods, trans fats, and sugary drinks
Consider consulting a dietician for a personalized plan
Start exercising regularly:
-150 min/week of moderate aerobic activity (e.g., brisk walking)
-2+ days/week of strength training
-Post-meal walks (10–15 min) to control blood sugar spikes
Include meditation or breathing exercises to manage stress.
Please repeat your HbA1c and fasting lipid profile in 3 months to track progress.
Catching this early is a big opportunity—small changes now can prevent major problems later. Take care of yourself!
Next Steps
Immediate lifestyle changes.
