Is Taking Carbimazole For Overactive Thyroid Safe While Suffering From Asthma And Osteoarthritis?

I have an over active thyroid and am on carbimazole my thyroid levels are in the normal range although if the dose is reduced I end up having a thyroid crisis. I am currently on 5mg twice a day. I am 5 stone over weight and keep being told to lose weight. Believe me I am really trying i watch what I eat, walk the dogs when I can (I have osteoarthritis, asthma and a fractured spine so activities are a bit limited). One week i could lose a couple of pound then the next week i weigh myself I have put that back on and more besides. How can I lose weight? I have heard that carbimazole can make it harder to lose weight.
