Good Morning! Dexona can cause you to lose muscle mass and to lose weight. The weight gain most people experience is due to fluid shifts, but Dexona should not be given to gain weight. The other drug you are taking is an allergy pill with the side effect of weight gain that wears off after about 4 months of taking it.

I don't know your history, but if you were my patient I would put you on a high protein, high calorie meal plan emphasizing good fats like avocados, virgin olive oil, high calorie shakes, small frequent snacking on nuts/dry fruits. Have you tried kicking up the calories???
