Weightloss is about good nutrition and excercise

Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. I am glad you want to control your weight. It's actually a very simple process to follow in theory.. but certainly difficult in practice.
A good well balanced low calorie diet is your first step. One that cuts out the unnecessary snacking and eating out (restaurant food is designed to be tasty, not healthy). Our Dieticians here can help you with that. Just ask them to make you a weight loss diet chart and they will help you.
The second thing is exercise. A combination of Cardio exercise and focused muscle building is important, but you should concentrate in Cardio. Join a good gym or seek the help of a physical therapist and you will have the help you need to make an exercise plan that you can stick to.
The key is to make a schedule that you can STICK to in the long run.
Now if these things are not helping you lose weight after 3-4 months of really trying.. Then we need to get some blood tests done to check your thyroid and other hormone levels.
Hope this helps.

I just wanted to go with that thyroid and other harmone level testing as you suggested.
Please help me in that to whom I have to consult
T3, T4, TSH
Detailed Answer:
You can go to the lab and ask for the following tests to be done
CBC
BUN and Serum Creatinine
Ca, Mg,
LFT
T3, T4, TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 if they have it
and Morning Cortisol
This would be a full workup to look into hormonal issues related to lack of weightloss.
You can upload those results to our site and we can go over it together or you can seek out a good endocrinologist and go over the results with them
Hope this helps.
