If you have already saved all the data previously while filing original return then just make the necessary changes before submission. Next step would be same as of original return, take printout of ITR-V and send it to CPC in Bangalore within 120 days of filing/submission/uploading revised return.
Also note that in case you have filed paper return then revised return must be paper return only and if you have file tax return electronically then the revised return should be filed electronically i.e. e-file.
