General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Gaining weight despite doing exercise could be due to associated endocrine dysfunction, particularly that of thyroid gland called 'hypothyroidism'.
Kindly get your blood analysed for Free T3 (FT3), Free T4 (FT4) and TSH levels. In case there is alteration, you need to consult Physician or Endocrinologist for appropriate management.
In case it is normal, you need to cut down calorie intake added to exercise, which over a period of time would help you to reduce weight.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
