Can There Be A Different Approach To Reduce My Weight?

Need blood tests to find cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You may want to check with an endocrinologist about Cushing syndrome that could be due to pituitary adenoma.
Other basic tests like thyroid profile, complete blood count, liver function test, kidney function test, serum electrolytes etc are also helpful in finding a cause.
If cause is found in the tests, then treating the cause will help reduce weight.
If cause is not found then you can raise a dietician consult here. You may log into "Active Health App"
using this link: http://onelink.to/activhealth-hcm
and raise a diet request by filling the diet request form. Our dietitians on the panel will answer the same in detail.
You may contact our customer care Team at 080-0000, in case if you need any assistance.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Need tests for Cushing Syndrome only
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Thanks for follow-up query.
You have done the tests can these tests are not much suggestive of a cause of weight gain. Only finding that has some significance is high cholesterol, which may suggest intake of fatty food by you. In this case dietician consult will help. You also have low iron levels, for this you need to take iron supplement for atleast 3 months.
Best next step would be to see an endocrinologist. She may come to a diagnosis by your signs and symptoms only. If needed she may run some tests like urine or salivary cortisol level or low dose dexamethasone suppression test.
