Brief Answer:
You need to review your diet
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic!
Based on the history you have shared, you seem to be a concerned person about your health and that is a good sign. With the amount of exertion and sports you mentioned, seems fair amount of effort to lose weight but if it is still 120 kg it seems a bit in higher side. It would have been more helpful if you had shared your height too so that we could comment about BMI.
Now with such efforts and thyroid and other basic workup being normal, it is advisable, to plan your diet as high proteins and high fibre, and low carbohydrate and sugars. A nutritionist can make a good plan with variety of dishes so that you can comply with the diet plan without getting bored.
Meanwhile increase your physical activity according to aerobics as advised by some gym instructor, that will help you lose better than unguided exercises.
Hoping you a good health. If you dont have any more questions, please close the discussion. You can also reach me directly through my profile in future, in case of any more questions, Regards.
