Have Addison S Disease And Prescribed With Steroids. What Should I Do Lose Weight?

I have Addison s Disease and have been on steroids for several years. Some of those years were with Prednizone. I gained 40lbs and was able to lose 25lbs. I can t seem to lose the other 15lbs. Is there anything I can do to facilitate weight loss? I am unable to do any standard cardio at this time. My diet is low carb, high protein whole foods. Any suggestions?
