Hello, i can understand your concern.
sedentary life post surgery makes it difficult to lose weight. if you donot have any cardiac and renal issues, i can suggest you to go for ketogenic diet. this will help you in reduction of weight. drink adequate amounts of water each day atleast 2 to 3 litres.
additional to this i would suggest a thyroid profile, lipid profile, sugars and get them corrected if any results are abnormal.
i hope i have answered your query.
have a nice day
