Hello!
weight gain is common side effect of steroid, if you are told by your doctor that your weight is gained by use of steroids then follow these steps:

1.Increased water intake (it can help to cleanse the body from toxins, spent medications and even sodium that has built up)

2.A healthy diet ( low calorie and balanced diet is important)

3.Regular exercise ( regular exercise is main part of reducing weight)

Further i would suggest to exclude Hypothyroidism by investigating thyroxine and thyroid stimulating hormone levels.



Hope it will help,


Take Care!
