to extract lines appearing inbetween { } in text file through batch file

Question

How can we extract lines appearing between { } in text file through batch file.

Text file would be in format:

Name : ABC
Place : xyz
Data :dd/mm/yyyy

{"return":"good","message":"ABC is present in xyz place","SSN":"-----------------345679HISKWBXMVTXVEULWXVC
VBXSWGVXBWSDCXLWUDV"}

I tried using the below code snippet, However it lists all the contents of text file . How can we extract the contents within {}

for /f "tokens=*" %%x in (filename) do set extract=!extract!%%x
