Hello,
Pioglitazone may can cause weight gain rather than weight loss. Other drug also not much effect on weight loss.
So don't worry, take plenty of protein contain food. Do regular exercise (musle building exercises) avoid smoking.
If no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine (for hyperthyroidism,liver problems and malignancy) and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
