Is Glutamine Effective For Weight Loss?

Hi How are you today? I was told by my friend to buy some Glutamine Powder to put in my water to help me loss weight. I was just reading that HIV patients actually take this to gain weight. What should I use? I do not have a issue with my food intake, or what I eat. I eat super healthy. Workout 3 times a week 30 mins a day. I weight 184 and I am only 5ft 3. What would you suggest I take to drop my weight?
