Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Meal replacements with protein shakes may help.
Meal replacements with shakes and bars are commonly used in weight loss.
If you still have difficulty losing with with these supplements you may want to consider visiting a nutritionist or bariatrician (weight loss doctor) to see if they would be able to help with your weight loss.
It is possible, if your thyroid hormone level is low, that it is impacting on your weight.
I hope this helps
