Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. Your trust in HCM means a lot to me as a Physician.
I have completely reviewed your health query, and can well realize all those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will give extend my expertise to solve the problems.
Sometimes diseases don't let us maintain normal and healthy weight nevertheless we maintain a healthy lifestyle. You need to consult a Physician for a script for following tests:-
Comprehensive metabolic panel.
Thyroid profile.
HbA1c levels.
Fasting lipid profile.
Don't get depressed. We have options to get it controlled through more diet restrictions (taking 1200-1300 Kcal for a faster weight loss). For that you may curb your carbohydrate and fats part of the diet chart. You may also consult a Dietitian locally, to maintain a new diet chart according to your food choices and taste.
If not working, after 3 months, we may go for Phentermine (Duromine). It is proven to be efficacious for weight loss. But usually it is given to very obese patients. You don't have much weight (although you have not provided your height, neck circumference and waist and hips circumference to see your BMI, Body Fat Index etc to see how much you need to lose).
If nothing helps, and you are really in need to lose, we may go for surgical options like Gastric surgery or Liposuction.
