Hey,
In short - Stop taking the weight loss pill & do certain tests.
Detail answer-
Hypertension at your age has certain causes:
1) Abnormal thyroid
2) Abnormal kidneys or obstruction of blood vessels of kidney
3) Excess working of a gland of our body called adrenal gland
4) Taking drugs like steroids or weight loss pill

So you need to first stop taking that pill & try to loose weight by exercising & dieting.
You also need to do certain tests to rule out above stated conditions-
Thyroid function test, KFT, renal Doppler, 24 hr urinary VMA & usg of whole abdomen.

You are young & hypertension can be cured if it has a cause. So you need to motivate yourself & you will be absolutely fine.

Thanks
