Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome back,

I've gone through your query and understand your concern for your wife.. Yes I've reviewed the reports..

Now this needs a through clinical check-up as well as further investigations to find out the problem/s..

I'd strongly advice you to schedule an appointment with an Internal Medicine specialist/ Endocrinologist (who-ever is easily accessible for you) for a detailed clinical check-up without any further delay along with a battery of investigations (complete hemogram with peripheral blood smear, reticulocyte count to look for the cause of anemia, Serum Electrolytes, LFT and KFT, lipid profile, Vit D3 and/ anti-TPO antibody)..

No, lifestyle changes is secondary here which is not sufficient to control this.. Moreover the primary cause of weight gain has to be found with proper detailed clinical examination along with further investigations, so please get her checked out by the Internal Medicine specialist/ Endocrinologist at the first place..

I've tried to make it as simple as possible for you to understand , please let me know if there's any further doubts..

Take Care
Kind Regards
