Answer:
Hi mate
Hope you doing well
my is changed into his because my is first person pronoun and in this sentence it is used as a possessive pronoun as it shows the possession. So when you change this sentence into indirect speech, the first person pronoun I in the reported speech will change according to the subject which is He in the reporting speech and my, which is a possessive pronoun, also changes according to the subject He and it will change into the possessive pronoun his because of the Subject
Explanation:
I hope now your doubt is clear from my explanation. If not then you can ask me...
