I am designing a single stage source degenerated cascode LNA. I have understood most of it theory regarding input matching but dont understand how to do output matching of thi LNA ?
Hope someone can explain it to me.

First, the output matching in LNA design should meet the stability requirements of the stage. And second, the matching network should be tuned for highest IP3 and required gain.
A usual topology for output matching of a single transistor LNA, is a simple LC network (series inductor followed by a shunt capacitor).
The DC bias of the transistor could be supplied to the Vcc through a choke. Sometimes the choke is a an inductor part of the output matching network.
At microwave frequencies some of the matching components can be replaced by microstrip lines.
