That's a very general question and there is very little information about you. Hence it's hard to answer in a way that will give you maximum benefit. I could say "work out more" or "buy lighter gear" but you already know that.

Browse the forum, get some more backpacking experience, and I'm sure you'll have tons of more specific questions.
