How Can Excessive Body Weight Be Reduced?
Hi, I am 37 and adding weight for the past 7 years. My life style has become busy but not changed, so is my diet. I am not into junk food and prefer home food. I am under medication for hypothyroidism for a couple of years. We are planning for a child and finding it very difficult to reduce my weight.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Provide your BMI to know exactly severity of obesity or grade of obesity
Your cause for weight gain seems to be related to hypothyroidism...
And thyroid issue sometime leads problem in conceiving
Your TSH value should be known to see control of drug on hypothyroidism and to decide whether dose adjustment needed or not
Aim in hypothyroidism is to kept TSH level between 2 to 3 and then chances of conceiving will be increased
Hence check your TSH value and better to check your husbands semen analysis also
Hope your concern solved
