Hello,

You need to rule out hypothyroidism by serum TSH estimation because low thyroid hormone also sometime responsible for weight gain. You have mentioned swelling as well. So i suggest you check your kidney, liver function and heart function by urea, creatinine, SGPT estimation and EKG. You can continue your cardio exercise and change dietary habit after consultation with nutritionist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
