Brief Answer:
check thyroid levels
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.
You check your thyroid levels first and then you can consult a endocrinologist if thyroid levels are abnormal. Hypothyroidism,stress,depression can lead to weight gain.
Try to avoid red meat, fatty diet, drink plenty of fluids.
Go for regular walking.
