Hi dear,
You are suffering from Hypothyroidism where thyroid(endocrine gland) does not produce thyroid hormones. This leads to lowered basal metabolic rate which again leads to weight gain.
Using only herbalife to shed weight is not a good idea as your basal metabolic rate will still not improve so even if you reduce it is likely that you will put on soon.
The best way to deal with it would be to start exercising regularly which will definitely increase your basal metabolic rate and you will lose weight in a healthier way. You are pretty young 27 years start exercising you will feel more energetic.
Keep a check on the thyroid levels as well, keep visiting your doctor if you develop any other signs & symptoms.

Regards,
Dr. Kunal Lokare
